I have had lots of experience with DDR - not recently, but I'm pretty confident that this should still be accurate.
I've no experience pre-3330 and the following is written in a 3390 contex t. Assuming you're runnning DDR in a virtual machine and moving from and to the same VIRTUAL cylinders you'll NEVER need to use REORDER. The actual physical cylinders occupied by the minidisks are irrelevant - it's the (virtual) cylinder values, "seen" by DDR that are significant. Therefore, assuming you have a virtual machine with read access to your source disk at (say) 1111, and write access to your (3338 cylinder) targe t disk at (say) 2222, some variation (e.g.you supply the disk labels) on th e theme of: PROMPTS OFF IN 1111 3390 OUT 2222 3390 COPY 0 3337 will do what you want. If you were running standalone to real disks then you could achieve the same effect using REORDER, thus; ... ... ... COPY 0 3337 REORDER 1 but personally I'd have to be short of options to choose this method! Regards Jeff (writing as me, not an EDS employee) Gribbin
