NAME

dmv - Move a partitioned dataset, sequential dataset, or generation data group to a new name.

SYNOPSIS

dmv [-dhv] SOURCE TARGET

-d
    Print out debug messages.

-h
    Display syntax help.

-v
    Print out verbose command information.

DESCRIPTION

The dmv command renames the dataset SOURCE to the name TARGET. dmv renames non-VSAM datasets and generation data groups. It does not rename partitioned dataset members. Use the mmv command to rename a partitioned dataset member.

When a generation data group (GDG) is specified as the source, the base and all of its active generations are renamed. dmv can only move a GDG located on disk. dmv cannot rename GDGs when rolled-off generation datasets exist.

dmv supports the generation dataset relative name notation.

dmv does not support moving datasets located on tape.

EXAMPLES

Rename the dataset ZOAU.DSN.ORIG to ZOAU.DSN.NEW.

dmv zoau.dsn.orig zoau.dsn.new
