When we converted 10 to 15 years ago, I just used FDR/DSF and DFDSS to copy data. You have to do the dataset copy, not the full volume dump copy. I also changed the naming convention of the volsers. I think it was something like PRD0nn to PRD3nn - the PRD0nn being the original 3380K drives, the PRD3nn being 3390 Mod 3 drives. I copied much of the data during first shift, making sure that it was not in use. Most of the VSAM and IMS files which were always in use by CICS during the day were converted by doing the application backups and doing restores on the weekend.
