Moving undefined DSORG and empty non-VSAM data sets

z/OS DFSMSdss Storage Administration
SC23-6868-01

To copy a data set with an undefined DSORG, ensure that the following conditions are met:
  • The PROCESS(UNDEFINEDSORG) keyword is specified.
  • The selected target volume is either of the same device type as the source volume, or a device type with equal or greater track capacity.
To copy an empty non-VSAM data set, ensure that the following conditions are met:
  • An EOF record exists in the first track of the source data set.
  • If the target data set is to be SMS-managed, the selected target SMS volume must either be of the same device type as the source data set, or a device type with equal or greater track capacity.
Note: It may not be possible to move all undefined DSORG data sets to an unlike device type, even when the unlike device type has a track capacity greater than or equal to the source device. For example, if the source device is a 3380, the output device is a 3390, and the data set’s block size is less than 277 bytes, a track on the target cannot contain as much data as a track on the source, and message ADR366W (invalid track format) is issued.
