Thanks. I did not have a convenient way to do "yyddd" but I did at least change it to
SYS%%%%%.T%%%%%%.RA000.** Yes, it will get a false positive on SYSHELLO.THEATRE.RA000.FOO.BAR but I would think you are kind of asking for trouble if you name your dataset that.

Charles, with 'SYS*.T*.R*.**' list you may pick SYS1.TOPSCRET.RACF.LIST files which is not a temp dataset . So I would suggest adding YY and DDD also to your search list 'SYSyyddd.T*.R*.**' Here is a link to naming convention of temp datasets http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2b6b1/12.22.2. 6? All temporary data set names begin as follows: SYSyyddd.Thhmmss.RA000.jjobname ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
