I think that when you use DDR you have to think PHYSICAL disk, since DDR does not have a concept of minidisk. That said it stands to reason that whenever you copy from one PHYSICAL disk address ie CYL 0 to a different PHYSICAL disk address ie CYL 1 you must use the reorder option. DDR copies very low level data ie H0 R0 record.

I have run into trouble when using DDR to copy my dedicated 3390 (mod3) pack to the virtual (3390 mod3) volume. I get : HCPDDR725D SOURCE DASD DEVICE WAS (IS) LARGER THAN OUTPUT DEVICE. I assume this is because my minidisk is defined a 3338 and the dedicated pack is 3339 .. is this correct? I figure many of you have done this is the past and may be able to suggest the best way to do this. I think it's just a warning and as long as the last cylinder doesn't contain data you will be OK. If it *does* contain data, then you have a problem... Adam
