Reorganize the Data Set

The copy function can be used to migrate an existing CA Verify for VTAM data set to a larger data set or to reclaim unavailable control intervals. Usually reorganization is not required.

A data set cannot be reorganized in place.

Follow these steps:

1. Define a new data set with IDCAMS.
2. Run TCABATCH with TCADSIN allocated to the old data set and TCADSOUT allocated to the new one. Use the following control cards to initialize and format the new data set and copy the test streams:

   INIT
   FORMAT
   COPY
   SELECT ========.========.===
   

3. Delete the old data set and rename the new one.
