Hi frnd,
In general, IEBGENER is used for the following purpose.

>>copies sequential data sets from one device to another
>>create a PDS from a seq DS
>>expand or add member to a PDS
>>produce an edited dataset
>>Reblock or change logical record length of a dataset.

so consider this code
just to copy from tape to a DASD
