Jack, I would definitely open a case to IBM, we can help you get this cleaned up. The ERR 39 does not generate a fix for this so you are on your own, not necessarily a problem if the backup version was an actual name. I think you might be able to clean it up with the BDELETE command with a versions parameter but that will take some work looking at the original backup records.
Open a case with IBM/HSM and we can help you clear this up. Max Smith IBM DFSMS Development ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
