The DUMPCONDITIONING parameter of the DFSMSdss COPY FULL command allows
both the source and target volumes to remain online after a full volume
copy operation, thus creating an interim copy for a subsequent dump to
tape that can be done using the same system.
When DUMPCONDITIONING is specified, the volser of the target volume does
not change. The conditioned volume is not usable in its current state -
except for the DFSMSdss DUMP operation, because the volser, the VTOC
index and VVDS names are not consistent.
A full volume dump of the conditioned volume results in a dump data set
that looks like it was created by dumping the sourve volume. This
allows the dump data set to be restored and used without having to clip
back the volser.

Eric,
FDR handles this as well, but I don't have the information at my fingertips.
RTFM or give them a call. You may need to get FDRINSTANT.
