Chuck,
Move Library to ASP (QHSMMOVL) API
Thanks for the link.
Too many restrictions though, no can do.
Restrictions
Data queue entries are not moved and will be lost.
The QSYSWRK subsystem must be active.
A library cannot be moved in the following cases:
The library is considered a system library. The restricted libraries are:
Any library with a name that begins with the letter 'Q'.
Any library with a name that begins with the symbol '#' that is not considered a user library and the target ASP is not a basic user ASP.
Libraries SYSIBM, SYSIBMADM, SYSPROC, and SYSTOOLS.
Library SYSIBxxxxx (where xxxxx is the number of a primary ASP).
The library cannot be renamed. See the Rename Object (RNMOBJ) command for the restrictions on renaming a library.
The library contains *JRN or *JRNRCV objects, objects that are journaled or the library itself is journaled.
The library contains files with database dependencies outside the library.
The library is in the library list of the current thread.
The library is in the library list of any primary thread that is active on the system when the QLIBLCKLVL system value is set to lock libraries in the library list.
The library contains an allocated job queue or output queue.
The target ASP does not have enough space for the library and its objects.
The target ASP is not either the system ASP (ASP 1), a basic user ASP (ASPs 2-32), or a primary or secondary ASP in the range of 33-255. A library object (*LIB) must be able to be created into the target ASP, which means that the ASP cannot be a UDFS ASP and it cannot contain a journal, journal receiver or save file object where the object's ASP is a basic user ASP and the object's library is in the system ASP.
When the target ASP is a primary or secondary ASP, the library contains a job queue object (*JOBQ).
When the target ASP is a primary or secondary ASP, the library must contain only object types that can reside in an ASP. For a list of supported and unsupported object types in a primary or secondary ASP, see Independent disk pool examples.

There is an API, category Hierarchical File System (HFS), IIRC.
I was finally able to get some response on my browser, and found the Move Library to ASP (QHSMMOVL) API that "moves a library and its contents from its existing auxiliary storage pool (ASP) to the specified target ASP through a save and restore operation. The API preserves private authorities to the objects that would normally be lost with a save and restore operation."

With the Private Authority (PVTAUT) feature of save\restore, that API would presumably have less value than prior to that capability; but there is a "Check dependencies" feature provided, because not all [objects\object-types] for a library can be /moved/ into other than the primary\*SYSBAS ASP.
