thanks John for the info. what you suggest about DFHSM is how we handle dumps on all of our other lpars. The problem here is that we merged with another agency and the people from the other agency pretty much maintain their own system as they did before the merger, although maintenance is applied and propagated everywhere in a standard fashion. we can get around the dump limits with DAE but this other group is used to using DSCAN on TSO to scan system dumps, and unless modifications are made it only recognizes SYS1.DUMP datasets, (so I am told).

Assign a specific management class to those dynamically allocated dump datasets, for their use only. Then have your DASD management product, such as DFHSM, automatically scratch those datasets after "n" days. If a sysprog needs a particular dump, they can use IPCS option 3.2 to copy the "interesting" dump to a differently named dataset with a different management class for futher work. This would automatically clean up dumps, if that is the concern. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
