It means that the data set is no longer part of the GDG. The concept of ROLLED-OFF and deferred ROLL-IN were new with SMS. Before SMS, a GDS was cataloged at step completion. I see your GDG is defined with NOEMPTY SCRATCH. In that case, if the LIMIT was exceeded, the oldest GDS was deleted. If NOSCRATCH was specified, it would just be uncataloged. With SMS, it is a requirement that all data sets be cataloged. When a DGS is created at step start, it is cataloged in DEFERRED ROLL-IN status. It is not part of the GDG until it is rolled in as the result of CATLG at step termination. If it is not to be scratched at when the LIMIT is exceeded, it will be ROLLED-OUT. > >IDCAMS SYSTEM SERVICES T >NONVSAM ------- POP.FLGD.FLD100.BYFLT.G0446V00 > IN-CAT --- CATALOG.SYSB.PRODCAT > HISTORY > DATASET-OWNER-----(NULL) CREATION--------2005.362 > RELEASE----------------2 EXPIRATION------0000.000 > ACCOUNT-INFO-----------------------------------(NULL) > STATUS--------ROLLED-OFF > SMSDATA > STORAGECLASS ---PRDSTAND MANAGEMENTCLASS--PRDVOLS > DATACLASS ------PRDSTAND LBACKUP ---XXXX.XXX.XXXX > VOLUMES > VOLSER------------MIGRAT DEVTYPE------X'78048081' > ASSOCIATIONS--------(NULL) > ATTRIBUTES > >The GDG is defined as: > >IDCAMS SYSTEM SERVICES >GDG BASE ------ POP.FLGD.FLD100.BYFLT > IN-CAT --- CATALOG.SYSB.PRODCAT > HISTORY > DATASET-OWNER--- CREATION--------1992.264 > RELEASE----------------2 LAST ALTER------2007.011 > ATTRIBUTES > LIMIT------------------2 SCRATCH NOEMPTY > ASSOCIATIONS > NONVSAM--POP.FLGD.FLD100.BYFLT.G9851V00 > NONVSAM--POP.FLGD.FLD100.BYFLT.G9852V00 > >I have three additional entries which are displayed when I do DS List >from option 3.4. > >I thought when a GDG was rolled off it was deleted. Why is this >occurring? With SCRATCH specified, that is correct. Perhaps there was some reason when that GDS was ROLLED-OFF that it could not be scratched. Or perhaps the volume (or the data set) that it is on had to be restored after it was scratched. > >I have another problem..

It seems you are trying to create G9846V00. Your GDG has G9851V00 and G9852V00 associated with it. I would have expected that the system would be trying to create G9853V00. Then again, perhaps at the time the error occurred, that would have been the next generation.... I also see that the rolled out GDS that you mentioned is G0446V00. This all looks suspicious to me. Could it be that G9846V00 existed in a ROLLED-OFF status when the failure occurred? -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
