Moving between STOGROUP- and VCAT-related space

You can move a page set that is currently in a STOGROUP-defined space to a VCAT-defined space on another volume.

About this task

You can also move a page set that is currently in a VCAT-defined space to a STOGROUP-defined space.

If you enter the MOVE line command, you are prompted for additional input. The input asked for depends on whether you wish to move a STOGROUP-defined or a VCAT-defined page set.

To move between STOGROUP- and VCAT-related space, use the following procedure.

Procedure

  1. Complete steps 1 through 3 of Displaying page set statistics.
    The Page Set Statistics for VSAM statistics panel is displayed.
  2. Tab to the page set that you want to move and issue the MOVE line command.
  3. In the panel that displays, enter additional information.
    If you are moving a STOGROUP-defined page set, the Move Page Set Input panel (ADB2M1M) is displayed, as shown in the following figure.
