Only if you are certain that your product is the only user of the datasets in 
question.

Since the datasets have been assigned a storage group, they must be SMS 
managed.  That means they must be catalogued.   Since you want to move them to 
another storage group, they must be catalogued there also.  So you can have at 
most one copy at a time with a given name.  ADRDSSU can accomplish this if your 
ACS routines will assign the correct storage group based on a storage class you 
specify.

However, each datasets in the linklist has a "permanent" enque posted against 
its DSN.  I don't know if any recent updates allow you to deque the DSN.  It 
might be simpler to give the new copies of the datasets new names.  There are 
operator commands that let you copy a linklist, remove existing entries from 
the new copy, add a new ones to the new copy, and activate the new list.  All 
new address spaces will then use the new list but all address spaces currently 
in execution will continue to use the old list until they terminate.  The APF 
list is easier since there are commands to update that on the fly.

After you have tested the changes, be sure to update the PARMLIB members that 
create the linklist and APF list at IPL.  After you IPL, the original DSNs will 
no longer be enqued and you can delete them at will.
