Hi Nigel, That is exactly what I did run. The ERR 39 are what remains after I managed to fix all the other errors. Three different backups with that error. I get the name of the PDS to be backed up, the names of the existing backups and the ERR39 error messages, with binary zeros where a backup name should have been. So, I have (n-number of ERR39 messages) backups and not a clue how to fix it. I have been reading the manuals but to no avail. I think that I will have to report a problem to IBM. Regards Jack
