Hi, Jon Brock wrote: "We have some tapes written into the wrong range of volume serial numbers. (They are taking up some of our business recovery volumes). The data sets in question are GDG generations. We would like to move these files off of their current volumes into the correct pool while maintaining their generation number. Can we simply uncatalog the old files and copy them to new files with the same generation number? I seem to remember that there is some other catalog work that would have to be done, but I'm not sure. The target volumes are the same device type as the current volumes, so the DEVTYPE should not need to change.
Example: Data set DDD.T.DDDDDD.G0011V00 needs to move from volume 015000 to volume 009999. Would I just uncatalog the file and copy it to 00999 with DISP=(NEW,CATLG,CATLG)?" I cannot think of a reason why what you propose would not work, but an alternative would be to simply run the copy to the new volume with the DSN in the form: DDD.T.DDDDDD.G0011V01 which with DISP=(,CATLG) should create a replacement version for the same generation.
