It's not necessarily true that you don't need to wait until the copy
completes...   if the FLASHCOPY gets an RC0 - ok -- but if it gets a RC
indicating for example - that there are already pending flashcopies for the
device -- I'm not sure offhand if DATAMOVE tries again or fails the
workunit.  You want to see that DIRMAINT has sucessfully performed the
CLONEDISK before proceeding.

(not sure you haven't -- just cautioning)
