1. Creating a Move Request

The first step in creating a Move Request is to ADD it to the Pending file. You can do this by using the Move Request Maintenance ADD activity (panel APIP110), or the Batch Add Utility program (APCS5960). The new Move Request is assigned a unique number by CA‑PanAPT, and the user creating the Move Request becomes the Owner.

The initial status of a new Move Request is Being Created (CRE). While in CRE status, members to be processed together are defined to the Move Request. Members of a Move Request can belong to many different Library Codes, and so, many different types of members such as source programs, JCL, object, panels, and documentation can be grouped and moved together.
