Miscellaneous Notes

The use of the keywords CMDOPT, SELGRP, SELTYPE, SELSTAT, SELMODE allow for the greatest degree of flexibility in generating the desired selection subcommands used by the %REMOVE and %TRANSFER commands. A single command can process a hundred elements or only one, depending on how the CA‑Panexec commands and subcommands are generated.

Familiarize yourself with the workings of the CA‑Panexec management commands and subcommands in general, and specifically with the %TRANSFER and %REMOVE commands. These sections are covered in the CA‑Panexec System Reference Guide in the chapter "Management Commands." Pay particular attention to the sections of Subcommands, under %Transfer and %Remove, and Subcommand Naming Defaults, especially the chart that is shown in the Subcommand Overview.

In general, it is preferable to generate the %REMOVE and %TRANSFER commands and subcommands to process the same members (allowing for renames) so that there is not a problem caused by trying to move a member that already exists on the target library.
