>> need to figure how to get dataclass assigned correctly for datasets that already exist.
Why? IIRC, the DataClas is assigned at allocation time. While you can issue an IDCAMS ALTER command for the StorClass & MgmtClas, you can't Alter the DataClas. This makes sense to me when you consider that most, if not all, of the DataClas attributes have to be used when the dataset is created. You can not make a standard format dataset into an extended format dataset merely by assigning a Dataclas which has the extend attributes. Those standard format datasets will have to be rebuilt. Keep in mind this was written by an old Storage Admin who's been through more IBM revisions than I'd like to count, but I don't believe this has ever changed. ddk ********************************************************************** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
