Okay, I am going to retract what I have said so far. I think I am seeing the OP question.
The functions in ISMF were manually entered via the panels for Storage Class, Data Class, and Management class. The Source PDS is strictly for the ACS routines that assign those definitions as needed. Currently - I do not know of a way to "EXPORT" the Classes that were manually defined with the Panels and put them in a "PDS/FILE" to be able to "IMPORT" them to another system SCDS dataset. The only process I am familiar with is to DUMP/RESTORE the SCDS you like and then activate it on the new LPAR. I am not sure if you could use IDCAMs to EXPORT the current SCDS and then IMPORT that file into a new SCDS dataset.

There is no "COPY" function in ISMF from the DATACLASS, MANAGEMENT CLASS, STORAGE CLASS Panels. The information you see in those panels are taken from the SCDS dataset (which is actually in storage/memory for SMS) Lizette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Raju Reddy Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 5:40 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: New LPAR build - Storage activities - SMS/ACS Functionality Kees, I am sure my question was confusing...!!! To cut it really short... Let's forget SCDS and PDS member which contains ACS routines.. Real question is:- ISPF---> ISMF--->4 Data Class--->DATA CLASS APPLICATION SELECTION ISPF---> ISMF--->--->DATA CLASS LIST So... here at 'DATA CLASS LIST' you see number of DATACLAS NAMEs like one of KSDS, ESDS, MULTIVOL etc etc... each with different attributes(RECORG,RECFM,LRECL etc etc) I would like to know if I can copy these Dataclass names from other LPAR's ISMF to Target LPARs ISMF with same attributes. This is just to avoid me defining new Dataclass names by entering the details manually and reduce time. I hope this gives a clear picture of my query. Thanks.
