I believe that the way you described the backup datasets is the way it works. If your TSO session times out, and you're in the middle of an edit session, when you next do an ISPF edit, you get a message saying you were editing such and such, and have the option to resume. If you resume your edit, and then exit normally, the dataset goes away. At least thats the way it worked in the past, with z/OS 1.2. Eric <SNIP> Eric: That's kinda my point. It is supposed to work this way, but NOT leave orphaned backup data sets out there. And I am finding them, but I can't tell how or why this is happening. All I know is that they are at least 1 week old or better (which is why they have been archived). And to make matters more interesting, from hour to hour I may be on a z/OS 1.9 system or a 1.8 or a 1.7 or even a 1.4. So who or which one(s) are misbehaving? The APAR someone mentioned (OA23616) doesn't even have a description in it yet, it is so new. So, something is not quite right. But my asking about this is because I'm not sure what is really going on -- and the search I did with SIS did not return the above mentioned APAR.
