I am very beginner in Mainframe and I received this task:
"copy certain job (DTLICTT2) from certain PDS (TEST.TS.A.CNTL) and change the JOB card".
How can I do this? I added two screen shot: one shows the PDS details and other shows how I am trying to copy but I am getting the message "Dataset not cataloged". I guess I am very close to do but certainly I am missing some extra step.

read about the TSO PREFIX
instead of
use
so that Your TSO prefix ( the userid ) is not prepended to the dataset name

If you hit F1 key once it will show more explantipon on that message and with another hit on it, it should further explain it all. That should be helpful.

Looks like IBM is running the mainframe contest again this year.

TEST.TS.A.CNTL is a Sequencial data and not a PDS..it needs to be a PDS to have a member JCL

Incorrect; if you enlarge PDS Details.png, you will see that the data set is explicitly stated to be DSORG=PO.
