This is a theoretical exercise, and I'm a newbie, so please pardon me if this is basic stuff...
Let's say I have a DASD volume on one system, and it has a user catalog on it for all the datasets on the volume, and I want to move this volume to a different system that knows nothing about it currently. How would I go about first, verifying in the user catalog that there aren't going to be any name conflicts with datasets on other volumes, and two, importing the catalog into the receiving system's master? I suppose I could just recatalog everything, but that might be painful, especially for any VSAM datasets... Or would it just be simpler to backup all the datasets on the source system, then restore them onto the target system on a new volume?
