Chuck - Regarding invoking dsmmigrate and dsmrecall for individual files
        and dealing with line length limits...
Note that these commands can be fed wildcard characters, which they will
internally expand and then process against the file system, which can help
avoid the need to feed filenames one-by-one.  Remember to escape the
wildcard characters so that the shell doesn't process them; so do like:
  'dsmrecall \*.gz'  or  'dsmmigrate \*.gz'.
Having the ADSM command expand the wildcard is particularly beneficial in
recall because it gives ADSM the manifest opportunity to process the files
in the order they are on the storage pool tape, rather than marching through
a list of files in the order you coded them, thus speeding retrieval compared
with shuttling back and forth over a tape.
