MOVE/COPY › Special Considerations › GDG Data Sets › For SMS data sets without NEWNAME:

For SMS data sets without NEWNAME:

1. If a catalog entry exists at the time of the move/copy operation, and it has a valid status, the status will be left intact. The only exception is when the original data set is in ROLLED-OFF status, the data set is placed in DEFERRED status on the new volume.
2. If a catalog entry exists but a valid status cannot be detected, or if a catalog entry does not currently exist, the status is assumed to be ACTIVE, and CA Disk will attempt to roll in the data set, unless doing so would force another entry out of the catalog.
3. If the NEWNAME parameter is being used, the status from the original data set will be used to determine catalog action.

If CA Disk cannot set a data set's catalog entry to the status CA Disk feels is correct, message 3729 will be issued to indicate the status the data set was left in, and the reason for placing the data set in that status.
