C Correct answer
Explanation

To solve this question, the user needs to be familiar with ADRDSSU (ADRDSSU) utility and its control statements.

Now, let's go through each option:

A. DUMP - This is a valid ADRDSSU control statement. It creates a dump of a dataset to an output dataset.

B. COPY - This is a valid ADRDSSU control statement. It copies a dataset or a group of datasets to another dataset or a group of datasets.

C. MOVE - This is not a valid ADRDSSU control statement. Although MOVE is a valid COBOL verb, it is not a control statement used in ADRDSSU.

D. CONVERTV - This is a valid ADRDSSU control statement. It converts a VSAM dataset to a non-VSAM dataset or vice versa.

Therefore, the answer is:

The Answer is: C

AI explanation

MOVE is not a valid ADRDSSU control statement. ADRDSSU (DFSMSdss) supports DUMP (backup to tape/DASD), COPY (copy/move data sets or volumes, with COPY plus a delete-source option effectively performing a "move"), CONVERTV (convert a volume's format, e.g., to/from SMS-managed), and others like RESTORE, COMPRESS, DEFRAG, RELEASE, and PRINT. There is no standalone "MOVE" statement — moving data is achieved via COPY, so MOVE is the odd one out and correctly identified as invalid.
