Syntax
movesource-logical-name=source-file-specification [destination-logical-name=destination-file-specification]
Description
The
move command initiates a move operation.
A move operation is similar to a copy operation. The only difference between a
move command and a copy command is that after you move a file, it is deleted from the source server from which it was moved.
If the
move command cannot delete the source file after the move, the move operation has failed;
move deletes the destination file.
Info |
---|
|
If the source side of the move is in the DD file system, or if the source is a GDG, an error will be issued specifying that the move command is not supported. |
source-
logical-name specifies the logical name of the source server (logical name of either the primary or secondary transfer server specified in the open command).
source-
file-specification specifies the complete path or single file name of the file or files to be copied.
Optionally,
destination-logical-name and
destination-file-specification can be used to specify the logical name of the destination server and the complete path or single file name for the destination file.
If
destination-file-specification identifies only a file name, the current directory (or high-level qualifier) is used for the destination server. If
destination-file-specification identifies only a directory, the file name specified in
source-
file-specification is used.
If
destination-logical-name and
destination-file-specification are not specified, the other server in the transfer session (that is, the server not specified in
source-
logical- name) is assumed to be the destination server and
source-
file-specification is used for the destination file name.

|
As with a copy command, if an error is encountered, a move operation will halt, and control will be returned to the script. |
Parameters
Parameter | Description |
