The CEDA MOVE command

Use the CEDA MOVE command to move one or more resource definitions from one group to another.

Syntax

Description

This command moves the resource definitions from the group named by the GROUP option to the group named by the TO option.

When you MOVE the last resource in a group TO a different group, the group is automatically deleted. An empty group cannot exist.

If you do not specify either MERGE or REPLACE, a message warns you that you are attempting to create duplicate resource definitions. The definitions are not moved.

Options

AS(newname): If you move a definition within a group, you must use AS to rename it. You can also use AS if you want to move a definition to another group and rename it at the same time. You cannot use a generic name when using AS.
Group(groupname): specifies the group containing the definitions to be moved.
MErge: This applies when there are duplicate definition names in the groups named in the MOVE command. If you specify MERGE, duplicate definitions in the TO group are not replaced.
REMove: specifies that, when a group is deleted because the last resource in the group is moved elsewhere, the group is to be removed from all lists that had contained it.
REPlace: This applies when there are duplicate definition names in the groups named in the MOVE command. If you specify REPLACE, the definitions being moved replace those in the group named in the TO operand.
resource(name): specifies the type and name of the resource you want to move. The default is ALL, which moves all the resource definitions in a group to another group.
TO(newgroupname): You can move definitions to a different group, using TO to specify the new group.

Examples

When you move a single resource definition, you can simultaneously rename it, using the AS option to specify the new name. For example:
```
MOVE PARTITIONSET(PSETQ1) GROUP(PSET1) AS(PSETQ4)
TO(PSET2)
```
A generic resource definition name can be specified, to move all or some definitions of the same resource type. For example:
```
MOVE TRANSACTION(*) GROUP(DENTRY) TO(TEST1)
MOVE MAPSET(ACCT+++) GROUP(ACCOUNTS1) TO(ACCOUNTS2)
```
To move all the resource definitions in a group to the new group, you can use ALL. For example:
```
MOVE ALL GROUP(N21TEST) TO(N21PROD)
```
You can use ALL with a generic name, to move all qualifying resource definitions in the group to the new group. For example:
```
MOVE ALL(N21*) GROUP(N21OLD) TO(N21NEW)
```
You can use ALL with a specific name, to move all the resource definitions of that name (which must be for different resource types) in the group to the new group. For example:
```
MOVE ALL(XMPL) GROUP(EXAMPLE) TO(EXAMPLE2)
```
To merge definitions from group X in with the definitions in group Y, keeping the Y version of any duplicates:
```
MOVE GROUP(X) TO(Y) MERGE
```
To combine definitions from group X in with definitions in group Y, keeping the X version of any duplicates:
```
MOVE GROUP(X) TO(Y) REPLACE
```
