In our site we have 2 storage classes. One is for temporary storage and another is for permamanent. If the dataset gets allocated in one storage class, is it possible to change it to other. In other words is it possible to change the storage class from temp to permanent after it has been allocated.

Thanks,
YSMVS.

YSMVS,

Did you try migrating your Dataset and then recalling it? Try this job and see if it works

Normally a storage class also has a corresponding storage group, which has a physical disk pool. So, just changing the storage class would actually cause problems. You probably need to physically move the dataset and rename it too so that it gets the right storage class and storage group. I would use adrdssu to do it.

It depends on how the Storage Management group have set things up, and your level of access. If you have the right access, you can modify it via IDCAMS:-
