Ray, The INCXCISZ tool noted datasets with IMBED and REPLICATE as well as those with INDXCISZ smaller than the 'new' default.
Skip, What IBM document stated that IMBED goes away in 'R8'? Last I heard was that it would go away in some future release after 1.7 (not necessarily the release immediately after 1.7).

Noal Lab Manager, San Diego Facility Office: (858) 537 - 3268 Cell: (858) 248 - 1172 -----Original Message----- Skip Robinson Subject: IMBED in R8 IBM has announced that VSAM clusters with IMBED will no longer be usable in the next release after 1.7, call it 'R8'. We've run the supplied utility to ferret out any IMBEDs that remain after all this time and found--much to our chagrin--that we have a lot of catalogs with that attribute. Including master catalogs! Must all of these be recreated? If so, we're looking at some serious sysplex-wide outages.
