I had not responded yet because I have not yet been able to get the complete answer. But it seems that something needs to be said in the meantime.
When we had developed the check, we had conferred with the HSM folks and were told that they did not allow APF data sets to be migrated. If that proves to be incorrect, then we will change the check not to flag that case as an exception. If that is correct, however, and your scenario was that the data set was migrated and then subsequently added to the APF list, then an exception is reasonable. Was Barbara saying that other mechanisms than HSM were used to migrate data sets? If so, then we can consider some sort of "rules" parameter. .
