   DFSMSrmm updates the DFSMSrmm control data set with the status and confirms all applicable moves during inventory management.

You can also use the Volume Action Status panel to request a list of volumes for a type of move, and confirm those moves from this list. To do this:

1. Type S next to the type of move for which you want to see a list of volumes. For example, to see a list of all volumes moving from LIB1 to LIB2 enter:

                        Dest-
    S  Action   Location ination  Move Type Status
    -- -------- -------- -------- --------- ---------
    S  MOVE     LIB1     LIB2     NOTRTS    Pending

2. Press ENTER.

   DFSMSrmm returns a list such as the one in Figure 2:
