Submitting them within TSO in batch was a pain to do in chucks of a few hundred. I have a TSO DELAY command (on CBT tape or available if you need it offlist). I just inserted the "DELAY 1" (delay for 1 second) command in the stream after a number of delete commands and let it rip. It would run for 8-12 hours at a crack for the number I wanted. Indeed getting the recalls coming from the same tape all together is a stellar idea. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
