Question:

Is there a valid function to move Dynam/T controlled volumes from one vault to another in the Dynam Catalog ?

Answer:

To be able to do this either through BATCH or via ONLINE CUI do the following Steps.

EXAMPLE:

to move volume number GL0001 to a new VAULT Location "X": 

1 - defined the new vault "X" with program DYNCAT
// EXEC DYNCAT,SIZE=256K 
VAULT VLTLOC=X DESC='Test' 
(online in CUI with command): 
DYNCAT VAULT VLTLOC=X DESC='Test' 

2 - alter the volser to put it in vault "X" with program DYNCAT 
// EXEC DYNCAT,SIZE=256K 
ALTER 'the.DSN.name’ VER=001 PERM=YES EXP=PERM VLT=X 
(PERM and EXP should be used as needed by customer) 
(online in CUI with command): 
DYNCAT ALTER 'the.DSN.name' VER=001 PERM=YES EXP=PERM VLT=X 
. 
after that GL0001 looks like: 
Volser: GL0001 Volseq: 1 
Files: 1 Vault: X 
. 
Data Set: the.DSN.name 

        Version  Vol     Initial       Create        Create  
Cmd Number Seq   Volser       Date           Time Job Name Expires Vlt 
___   00001   0001 GL0001(V) 21/04/2016 07:37 FAVER2    PERM   X 

3 - run TDYNVLT MOVEMENT, VERIFY which creates the following reports: 
// EXEC TDYNVLT,SIZE=256K 
MOVEMENT 
VERIFY

followed by INVENTORY which now shows:
