Thanks every one, we tried just about everything yesterday and really nothing worked. I tried what many of you suggested about midnight yesterday and it worked. Could anyone have has some sort of access to these datasets which were preventing the deletion? Anyway it's gone and again I thank you all.

Get into HCD. Choose option 6: "Maintain I/O defination files", then select option 1 "Delete I/O defination file". Oh, yes, put the I/O definition file name in the field on the first HCD screen. Or, just use ISPF option 6 and enter: DEL iodf.file.CLUSTER Where "iodf.file" is the name that you'd normally put in the I/O definition file field on the first HCD screen. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
