Why should it be at all necessary to recall a migrated data set
to alter its catalog properties or to rename it? This should be
an operation only on the catalog and the MCDS, with no need to
access the migrated extents of the data set.
Even as an increasing number of utilities are adapting to convert
DELETE to HDELETE, RENAME should be converted to HRENAME
and ALTER to HALTER, etc.
Paul:
The "H" tells HSM to do its majic.
DEL works on the catalog and the dataset.
