The command withdraws the copy
targets for relationships existing within
the entire extents specified as the
source. When the copy target for the
relationship is only partly included in
the specified extent, the command does
not withdraw the relationship.

CAUTION:

If one of the following

operations has been performed, the
creation of relationships may fail:

A scratch operation

Datasets deletion

Volume initialization

Therefore, if any of these operations
have been performed, do either of the
following:

Use the FCWITHDR command to
withdraw the relationship.

Wait until the background copy
operation finishes and the
relationship disappears.

The command withdraws the copy
targets for relationships existing within
the extents specified as the source,
provided that:

When the copy target for the
relationship is only partly included
in the specified extent, only the
area that is included in the extent
is withdrawn.

When only the central part of the
copy target for the relationship is
included in the specified extent,
only the area that is included is
withdrawn. The remaining area of
the relationship is divided up.

FCWITHDR

command

(DDSW = YES, XTNTLST parameter
specified)

The command withdraws the copy
