OK, now I'm confused. Which question are you answering 'yes' to? You asked 2
opposite questions. In the subject line, you asked if the storage needs to be
contiguous. In the body of the e-mail you ask if you could remove storage from
C and give it to A without messing with B in the middle.
And here I thought you were referring to a z/OS release about 20 years into the
future, you know, the next one after z/OS 2.09. :-)

That's just where I was going in my thinking. It looks like something is

As best I can see, neither of the examples you show below will work. At least

John,
I'm going to take your word that the original DUMP that you created the
COPYDUMP from was a full volume dump. That being said, the BYPASSACS parameter
you have in your RESTORE attempt is only valid for dataset level restores, not
full restores. You will need to use a restore parameter
of restoring the volume
(physically) to a non-sms managed volume. This way no dsns weill b cataloged
etc. I am using BYPASSACS because I thought I could bypass SMS.

I don't see any kind of rename syntax in your copy job. Is the OMVSF HLQ

As it sits, would dump/restore have the same issues he's having trying to copy
