It is possible to update your SCDS and not activate it. The result is the SCDS is different from the ACDS but the display does not indicate this inconsistency. If you don't use 'ACTIVE' in ISMF, you don't know what SMS is currently set to.

Here's the output from the display command: RESPONSE=PBSB IGD002I 14:41:15 DISPLAY SMS 718 SCDS = SYS1.DFSMS.SCDS ACDS = SYS1.DFSMS.ACDS COMMDS = SYS1.DFSMS.COMMDS DINTERVAL = 150 REVERIFY = NO ACSDEFAULTS = NO SYSTEM CONFIGURATION LEVEL INTERVAL SECONDS PBQA ---------- -------- N/A PBSB 2009/08/18 14:41:04 15 Stop everything... According to the STC, the missing volumes are being backed up...I need to take a look at the routine that told me that it wasn't being backed up. And see if there's an error. My apologies to the list for this false alarm... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
