This is truly one of those occasions where what appears to be a "glitch" to the user (you in this case) is really a design feature. Yep, it was *designed* this way - and documented as such at the time. We all wanted to be able to do things like this, IBM wanted to protect themselves. The manual even tells you this; "The system bypasses this restriction if all of the following are true: - Your program sets on a certain bit in the CAMLST macro expansion. You can code this instruction: OI listname+2,X'10'. - You have at least read authority to the RACF facility class named STGADMIN.DPDSRN.olddsname, where olddsname is up to 23 characters of the existing data set name. You can use a generic class name such as STGADMIN.DPDSRN.SYS2.*. IBM recommends that no one have authority to STGADMIN.DPDSRN.* because it is too broad. - The data set is not SMS-managed." PROGM is older than dirt, and ain't going to do it for you - there may be something on the cbt. Shane ...
