Use DFSMSdss's logical COPY function to move the data to system-managed volumes. Specify one or more non-system-managed volumes as target output volumes to receive the data sets that your ACS routines determine should be non-system-managed.

When you use the logical COPY function to move the data to system-managed volumes, DFSMSdss performs the following steps:

1. Searches any catalogs for data sets cataloged outside the standard search order.

   You cannot use JOBCAT and STEPCAT statements to locate system-managed data sets. When placing data sets under system management, you can use the DFSMSdss INCAT keyword to specify catalogs that must be searched to find data sets cataloged outside the standard search order.

2. Copies all eligible data sets to system-managed volumes.

   These data sets are also assigned an SMS storage class and management class.

3. Places ineligible data sets on the non-system-managed volumes you specified on the OUTDD or OUTDYNAM parameter.

   When you copy or restore a data set when SMS is active, the storage class ACS routine is always run. The management class and storage group ACS routines are run if the storage class ACS routine determines that the data set should be system-managed.

4. Catalogs all system-managed data sets in the standard search order.
