Ins and Outs of SDC/Standby with Award Space?

I guess you can SDC saver award space from one flight to another if the saver booking class comes up for the preferred flight. But how often does that happen within 3 hours of flight time, vs. revenue fare buckets? Can you then cancel the standard award space you've already holding on the preferred flight?

And Scenario 2, when holding saver award space on another flight and trying to go STANDBY (not SDC) on your preferred flight, where are you on the list - at the bottom of your status level but ahead of the next status level for all bookings in M class or below? Will the system even allow you to go saver award standby if you already hold standard award space for that flight?

Thanks.....
