I use ACC/SRS, DTS Software, routines to set the DSORG to PS if the DSORG is empty and directory blocks are not specified. In the last eight years I've done this WITHOUT causing problems, YMMV.

This is something I fight against. Sometimes the dataset is never opened. For example it is kind of "exception report". In case of no exceptions the dataset remains "untouched". It cannot be backed up due to invalid DSORG, so it will *never* be migrated or deleted according to mgmt class parameters. It occupies the best DASD space. Obviously you can create report of such datasets, delete them manually, instruct fokls to specify DSORG, etc. The above is for HSM customers, AFAIK FDR users have no such problem, because FDR manages datasets with invalid DSORG. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 _____________________________________________________________ Netscape.
