You could go to ISMF Option 1 (dataset) and see what it generates to do this for you. I use this method to see what DFDSS control cards ISMF would generate to move datasets from one volume to another. I always use SPHERE whenever VSAM is involved. The use of sphere will not impact copying non-vsam datasets. Could you let us know what files were not deleted and left on the original volume? We would need to have more specific information to try and help. Or if you could provide the output from the DFDSS job along with a vtoc print, that would be very helpful. How many datasets are on the original volume. How many were copied. How many were deleted? How many were left? I have always seen DFDSS provide W type messages whenever it could not do "something". That you are not seeing messages is very strange. You may need to turn on a DFDSS trace in the job stream. But I would look for ADR----W messages in the output. They may have an RC0 but a warning message is provided. I had to write a REXX to filter the output of my DFDSS jobs so I could find the W/E/S messages. Otherwise they were easily over looked.
