Hi Amlan, Have a look at appendix D of the DFSMSdss Storage Administration Guilde: Changing Creation Date Default Settings during Logical Data Set COPY and RESTORE (OW19618). This is a patch byte to control how DFSMSdss handles setting the creation date on data sets it allocates. This may help, but it requires READ access authorization to the STGADMIN.ADR.PATCH profile. Information about the SET PATCH command provided by DFSMSdss is located in the SET Command--Setting Condition Codes and Patch Bytes section DFSMSdss Storage Administration Reference.
Here is a clip from the documentation...If the patch byte at offset X'46' of module ADRPATCH is set to X'FF', the creation date of the target data set that is restored without a rename is set to the current date (otherwise the original date from the source is used). To set the patch byte at offset X'46' to X'FF', specify the following in the DFSMSdss SYSIN: SET PATCH 46 = FF Robert Gensler DFSMSdss Development Tucson, AZ Amlan Prasad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> 04/10/2007 10:42 PM Please respond to IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> To [email protected] cc Subject DFSMSDSS-ADRDSSU Hi, I am using ADRDSSU to unload a old backup dataset. Since the backup was taken long back all the datasets inside have a very old creation date. When this dump is unloaded, the created datasets also gets the same old creation date. This is causing problem because they get deleted immediately because of existing SMS rule. Is there any way that the unloaded dataset is cataloged with a new date rather than the original creation date.
