With LD devices it is easy to create a raw disk image with BACKUP 
/PHYSICAL for any destination:

$ ld create/clone=dva0: dva0.img
$ ld conn dva0.img
%LD-I-UNIT, Allocated device is SEMMEL$LDA3:
$ mount/for lda3:
%MOUNT-I-MOUNTED,  mounted on _SEMMEL$LDA3:
$ backup/phys dva0: lda3:
$ dism lda3:
$ ld disco lda3:
$

No error/warning message and much faster than record mode copy.
