Use IDCAMS if the data set is VSAM or IEBGENER if the data set is sequential or IEBCOPY if the data set is partitioned. Standard JCL would be used -- just specify the full set of parameters for the output data set (UNIT, VOLSER, DCB, DSN, DISP, SPACE).

However, the creation of NON SMS datasets is usually restricted by the storage management team.
Assuming that your storage environment is set up correctly, you will need authority to be acle to create NON SMS managed datasets, or you may have to ask storage to do this for you.
