I looked and could not find an IBM Idea to address the DFSMShsm migration issues with DSFS so I created on:

If you can't see it, you can't even initiate a recall. Therefore, if you wish to grep through a directory or something like that, you must first prepare the environment by recalling everything. That's inconvenient. I realize migrate/recall is somewhat "old fashioned" but we still do it and I suspect others do as well. -- Phoenix Software International Edward E.
