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.
But you can't print or view that exception report because of the
invalid attributes; DSORG, RECFM, whatever.
Yes, but such report are used or not. In any case I want them to be
migrated and after defined time deleted. It covers various datasets, not
only reports. Invalid DSORG suspends (denies) migration and deletion.

Migrating or backing up a data set with incomplete attributes
ought to be a trivial operation: [...]
Agreed. However it's not done. Such datasets are not migrated.
So, I have two choices:
a) complain about HSM/DSS design and stay with the problem
b) circuvent it - use DSORG in JCL and watch datasets with invalid
DSORG. Optionally I can still complain about HSM, DSORG, IBM,
mainframes, etc. <g>
