I remember a time when I was stuck in a rut with a zFS and I REPRO'd into a VSAM LDS that was formatted with zfsadm. Turns out you have to allocate a VSAM LDS and REPRO into it directly from the source zFS. That automatically formats the target as a zFS.
Although this is possible and you'd have a backup, I'd rather move chunks of folders at a time using USS-specific tools. – Vignesh Mainframe Infrastructure -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Allan Staller Sent: 20 September 2017 00:25 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Extended format system ZFS files Depends on the size. Repro would be a *VERY BAD* idea. IBM has multiple caveats on how to handle ZFS files. IIRC REPRO is specifically forbidden. The short answer is delete/define and copy with pax (or copytree).

Is it possible to convert my z/OS system ZFS files from SMS Extended to Non-SMS datasets? What would be the process? Repro out and back? Is there a simpler way? I know technically this works fine, but I don’t like my system datasets being SMS managed and the previous person here set this up.
