Moving an entire PDS to another LPAR

[DClassic53]

If I issue
put //hlq.seq.file //hlq.seq.file2

the result is I have a newly created HLQ.SEQ.FILE2 on the remote system

When I issue
put //hlq.pds.file //hlq.pds.file2

the result is that I have $HOME/mem1, $HOME/mem2, etc., on my remote system

It's not intuitive what I need to do to get an entire PDS from point a to point b

Co:Z SFTP doesn't offer a way to transfer a PDS as a single file (unloading, etc). You can, of course, use XMIT to pack on the sending side and RECEIVE to unpack on the receiving side however.

PDS datasets are treated as pseudo directories, and you can transfer members using globbing:

put //hlq.local.pds(*) //hlq.remote.pds

Thank you for the reply. Any particular release level for globbing to work?

A related question: Does the remote pds have to pre-exist or is there a way to have it allocated during the sftp session?
