<snip> 1) Does IDCAMS keyword NOSCRATCH make HSM bring in a dataset before deleting it just like NONVSAM does? I may have observed that behavour...job had NONVSAM NOSCRATCH and HSM brought it in first, after I removed the NONVSAM and I think it still came in (didn't confirm conclusively) until I removed the NOSCRATCH. BTW this was on a user-specific brodcast dataset. </snip>
No. Delete NSCR only references the catalog entry, not the dataset. I have used this quirk in a few recovery situations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
