General Information

The basic element of this function is the ability to migrate data sets directly from one DASD volume to another using a single common command format, freeing the user from unnecessary involvement with different data set organizations, attributes and device types. This basic element is also combined with the ability to scan VTOCs from one or more volumes and process all or subsets of the data sets, to provide a powerful and convenient means to configure all or portions of many volumes. Also supported is the migration of OS catalogs (non-VSAM) that execute at several times the speed of IEHMOVE. For all Move/Copy operations, 3390 and 3390-2 devices are considered to be like devices.
