You may be the victim of a little trick that DB2 dbas do occasionally. If they have piles of data that they failed to expire (because they turned expiration off), they likely just dropped the catalog, and then brought it back. Voila! their problem is solved. Unfortunately, TSM is stuck now with all that orphaned data. You will have to delete that data manually. Support should be able to help you with that. -- Mark Stapleton Berbee (a CDW company) System engineer 7145 Boone Avenue North, Suite 140 Brooklyn Park MN 55428-1511 763-592-5963 www.berbee.com
