Move/Copy Utility panel fields

z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol II
SC19-3628-00

All the fields on the Move/Copy Utility panel are explained in the "ISPF Libraries and Data Sets" topic of the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I. On this panel, you specify the data set that you want to copy, move, lock, or promote. This is called the "From" data set.

If you request a member list or specify an asterisk (*) in the Member field on the "From" panel, ISPF does not display a Member field on the "To" panel. See the Member Selection List Commands section of the "ISPF Libraries and Data Sets" topic of the z/OS ISPF User's Guide Vol I for information about primary and line commands that are available for the Move/Copy utility member list display.

You can copy or move load modules stored in partitioned data sets with undefined record formats, but you cannot print them.

The deletion of any member because of a move is recorded in your ISPF log data set, if allocated.

When you complete the panel and press Enter, ISPF displays another panel that is determined by the option you selected. This panel allows you to specify the "To" or "Target" data set or controlled library. The "From" data set must already exist. If the "Target" data set does not exist the user is prompted to see if the data set should be allocated. Choices are to allocate the "Target" data set using the characteristics of the "From" data set as a model, or to allocate the new data set by specifying the characteristics for it. If the user uses the "From" data set as a model, then that data set must be cataloged and the volume field is ignored. This function can be suppressed through the ISPF Configuration table. If it is suppressed, an allocate request for a nonexistent data set fails.
