ALLEXCP specifies all data sets whose data set organization is PS, PSU, PO, POU, or null and are empty (the last used block pointer in the data set's VTOC entry is zero). The data sets are processed as follows:

For a full-volume copy, all of the allocated space for the source data set are copied to the target volume.
For a physical data set copy operation, the allocated space for the piece of an empty data set on the input volume will be copied to the target volume. If there is no allocated space, but there is an entry on the VTOC, no tracks will be processed and an entry for the data set will be created in the VTOC of the target volume.
For a data set copy, the function of this keyword is dependent upon certain data set characteristics, device characteristics, and other DFSMSdss keywords specified. See Table 1 and Table 2 for more information.

Attention: Because all of the allocated space may or may not be copied, use care in specifying the ALLEXCP keyword with DELETE. For example, if a data set contains records that you wish to preserve, but the last block pointer in the data set’s VTOC entry is zero and you perform a data set copy with ALLEXCP and DELETE to an unlike device, these records are not copied to the target, but the source will be deleted upon successful completion of the copy.
