Bruce, Thanks for the info. Apparently the GUI only shows flashcopy relationships that are established via either the GUI or the CLI commands, not those that are initiated by the mainframe. After I posted the question, I remembered (old-timer's disease) that I have about 50 persistent flashcopies active on my production LPAR. None of them shows up on the GUI.
Hmm, TSO commands documented in a DFSMS bookshelf. I guess it makes sense once you know to look there. :0) I'll look at the ANTRQST macro in more detail when I have more time. For now, I found (kinda) the information I needed by using the ICKDSF FLASHCPY command.

I've searched the TSO bookshelf as > well as the DS6800 books to no avail. same manual as above. If your copy is more than 3 years old, they may not be in there. It took IBM some time to add them. -- Bruce Black Senior Software Developer Innovation Data Processing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
