Changing the Device Class of a Data Set 

To change the device on which a data set resides, use the CHANGE
DEVICECLASS command.  The CHANGE DEVICECLASS command actually moves the
data set.  In this section, a different device class is specified for the
data set SUP-MASTER in the ORDERS database.  Before changing the device
class, the REVIEW SETS command output looks like this:

       Set                                Blk  Blk  Dev
       No. Data Set Name  Type Capacity   Fac  Max  Class    Security
       --------------------------------------------------------------

       5   SUP-MASTER       M  201        12   1024 DISK1    (13/12,18) <---- * 

     *device class to be changed 

In the example below, the device class is changed from DISK1 to DISK2.
The DBCPLUS program displays a message confirming that the device class
has been changed.

     >change deviceclass sup-master disk2 
      Change of set capacity, block factor, and/or device class accepted.

     >

Refer to "CHANGE DEVICECLASS" in chapter 10, "DBChange Plus Commands,"
for a detailed description of the command syntax and parameters.

If you want to verify that the device class for the SUP-MASTER data set
is changed, use the REVIEW SETS command as follows.  You can see that the
device class is now DISC2.

     >review sets sup-master 

     REVIEW SETS:

       Set                                Blk  Blk  Dev
       No. Data Set Name  Type Capacity   Fac  Max  Class    Security
       --------------------------------------------------------------

       5   SUP-MASTER       M  201        12   1024 DISK2    (13/12,18) <---- *
