What's the format of the copied file, "Record format: Variable length"?
You can double check with DUMP/RECORD if the copied file has 290 records
of size 512. (As far as I can see the executable is 290 blocks, your
copied file has "End of file block 292".) If it is, then you should be
able to CONVERT/FDL the file to "FORMAT fixed" and "SIZE 512" and the
0x200 should be gone.
