Joe, >>I use IDCAMS alter command to add deferred GDS to the base: >>ALTER gdg.name.GxxxxVxx ROLLIN
>Ok with this one. I need to leave it off. If you do not rollin the GDS, the next time that someone attempts to create a +1 generation, the system will locate it and write over it. You really want to rollin or delete any GDS that is in deferred status. >>I use IDCAMS delete command to delete the dataset: >>DELETE gdg.name.GxxxxVxx >Doesn't this just delete the dataset? I want to delete it from the GDG base >but keep the dataset. I suggest you rename the dataset to a simple name. I will often change the G####V## part to X#### to help me remember what it is and where it came from.
