I am trying to use DFDSS to COPY data from our General Pool to a Transfer Pool that contains 1Tb EAV volumes for an Application migration. The reason we need this to support moving the Application to a New LPAR and minimize the down time required to do this. the General Pool contains 400 Mod54 volumes and moving them would take 36 hours to copy the dat on the new LPAR. so we want to copy inactive data to the EAV's so the data can be copied to the New LPAR General Pool at a later date. Here are the few options i have tried with DFDSS and it seam to be looking at data 1 week old when i am looking for data at least 45 day old to start.

#1
//FILTER DD *
INC(B*.**, -
D*.**, -
E*.**, -
F*.**, -
P*.**, -
V*.**, -
X*.**) -
BY(REFDT LT 2020360) -
EXC(SYS1.**, -
*.*CM.**)

#2
//FILTER DD *
INC(B*.**, -
D*.**, -
E*.**, -
F*.**, -
P*.**, -
V*.**, -

BY(REFDT LE 2020360) -
EXC(SYS1.**, -
*.*CM.**)

#3
//FILTER DD *

E*.**, -
F*.**, -
P*.**, -

BY(REFDT GT 2020360) -
EXC(SYS1.**, -

#4

Thank you, that is working....

It appears my confusion was due to the fact I have SELM(FIRST)
coded in my SYSIN controls and i was getting DS not selected due to no First, and when i looked at the DS it was created last week. so apparently the BY filter is not the first criteria used when looking at the dataset....

Thank you for the response.....
