IEHMOVE is controlled by job and utility control statements. The job control statements are used to process or load the program, define the devices and volumes used and produced by IEHMOVE, and prevent data sets from being deleted inadvertently.

IEHMOVE is an APF-authorized program. This means that if another program calls it, that program must also be APF-authorized. To protect system integrity, the calling program must follow the system integrity requirements described inz/OS MVS Programming: Assembler Services Guide.

Utility control statements are used to control the functions of the program and to define those data sets or volumes that are to be used.
