Well its late in the day and I just couldn't resist.

Was there any compelling reason to move them? Seems to me if your z/OS box is face down in the dirt for whatever reason, and you need doc in a hurry to get it upright again, that having the doc somewhere other than on the system that was down, or in trouble, was probably a good idea. Was there ever a time when you needed to access the doc (on windows) and couldn't? I'm not pushing the idea of putting it on windows, but if it's already there anyway why move it? Worst case I suppose you could just access it directly from the IBM pubs site and never need to update your own copy. > The problem is that we only have 3390-3 sized volumes and don't want any > other size. This means a single volume contains only about 2.8 Gb. You DO realize that's just slightly over 1% (a rounding error) of the 250GB disk inside the PC I am writing this on? And while I'm at it, who cares how big those volumes are? They're all emulated anyway. Seriously folks, we have to get over this space thing on z/OS. We look ridiculous. > The entire subdirectory that I would like to duplicate contain almost 6 Gb > of data. This basically means two complete 3390-3 volumes to contain it. So you wanna waste a whole 6 gigs of disk for doc! What a resource hog you are. I bet your storage administrator has to jiggle things left and right to accommodate your rampant storage profligacy. Sorry, I got carried away. > Should something this large be zFS? Or is HFS OK?

You can do what you are suggesting easily enough. I just wonder whether it's worth the cost and aggravation.
