Thank you for submitting this enhancement request, unfortunately, we currently do not plan to implement this enhancement request, the same type of functionality can be achieved by using a script or a macro.

If I understand you, with this method there's a single move data process running concurrently (because of wait=yes). If I want to run 30 processes concurrently, I need to run the script 30 times which is not that convenient.
Even if I could do this with a script\macro, it still means I need to create the txt files and do a lot of manual work in order for it to work. If TSM had a built in feature that allowed me to do it with a TSM command it be preferable.

Hi Arthur,

have you tried using sql to make a macro file which dsmadmc can
execute? For instance -

select 'a'||volume_name, 'move data ', volume_name, ' wait=yes' from volumes where ... >> macro.txt
select 'b'||volume_name, 'checko libv ', volume_name, from volumes where ... >> macro.txt

Then sort macro.txt by the first volume_name and the a|b column. Remove the a|b and the first volume_name and you will have a file
which dsmadmc can run to do what you want.

A nice pc editor helps with this, I use Ultraedit.

I have done things like this many times. Unless I completely misunderstand what you requirement is - and I don't know anything
about VTL's - I can't see the need for it.
