3) use the ISMF Copy line command and, on the next panel, enter the target SCDS dataset name with the desired (same or different) Class name. This works for all the class panels tho' the StorGrp panel will *not* copy the volume list to the target SCDS.
For example, I have SYS4.DFSMS.IGDSMS00.SCDS (active/production) & SYS4.DFSMS.IGDSMS10.SCDS (staging/development). I can create a new class in the staging SMS10.SCDS, run it through my vetting processes, then copy it to the active SMS00.SCDS prior to activating with SETSMS SCDS(SMS00.SCDS). ps. I think you must explicitly specify both the source & target SCDS names ie. 'ACTIVE' is not a valid source. Both SCDS datasets must be accessible from the ISMF session ie. you might have to use a duplicate from the source LPAR. (which, I think, you've already done) --------> signature = 6 lines follows <-------- Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee "How *do* you plan for something like that?"

Those are done manually. And if you only want to copy those definitions that are in the SCDS and SMS Address space, you have either 1) Copy the complete SCDS to the new LPAR. Activate it, then Delete the entries you do not want. 2) Start with a clean SCDS VSAM dataset, Activate it, then manually add your Data Classes, Storage Classes and Management classes through the ISMF Panels. As far as I know, IBM never provided a batch process to do en masse the addition of these functions or a selective EXPORT of some of the classes to load into a new LPAR.
