If you have DFDSS there is an option to reblock the datasets that are copied and its reasonably fast. I could be wrong in this but the FDR people didn't have the option. Ed, luckily you are wrong. Our dataset restore has the option to reblock PS and PO dataset. Other dataset types like DA

Clearly the biggest issue is the geometry change from 47K to 56K; so you can’t use any “physical” type utilities (E.g. Full Dump Restore) to perform the data move unless you configure the 3390 devices in 3380 emulation mode. Ya know, that is not completely true. As long as the output track

Radoslaw, I agree. ADABAS is probably a better example than IDMS because IDMS doesn't have this problem. Of course, if you know it is a problem for ADABAS you can use SMF to compile a list of all datasets that have been opened by ADABAS and give this to the DBA to use as a checklist. Then you

If your Adabas DBA needs you to compile a list of the files that constitute the Adabas databases, then it's time to hire a new DBA. Or, at the very least, time to send them on a course. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List I agree. ADABAS is probably a better example

if you have hsm up, an option is to migrate/recall and let hsm reblock (or just migrate). dss will also reblock src files so you could selectivly dss copy. Jack Kelly LA Systems @ US Courts x 202-502-2390 -- For IBM-MAIN

Thanks Jack for the suggestion. Too bad the environment doesn't have HSM. Your idea sounds like a great idea. Out of curiosity what would happend if the files were to be recalled which volume would it be recalled to? Would I need to keep the old volsers in order for the recall to work?

Willie, It's been a long, long time since I did this, but there are a few extra weapons in the arsenal nowadays. There is not much that is going to actually break when you go from 3380 to 3390. VSAM will look after itself and flat files will have wasted space. The main things that will break are
