The data set would have to be fully closed around the sysplex and must not have retained or lost locks before it can be moved. For CICS opens, the data set can be quiesced with a single command. You can also query if the data set is opened any where in the plex with the IDCAMS SHCDS command using the LISTDS keyword.
