Willie, I would suggest very strongly that YOU DO NOT WANT TO DELETE THAT FILTLIST.
Right now, it serves the purpose of allowing explicit volser coding in the JCL and it is honored and the dataset allocated. If you do not want capability to be available to everyone, then recode that WHEN statement to have a compound condition like "AND &USER = &SPECUSRS" and code a new filter list of special users that can code volser. I am not saying this is the only way to do it or if this is the best way. I am just saying that I do not think you want to lose the logic ability present in that WHEN clause.

I will remove this FILTLIST as well as review the others which test for TEST.**. Thanks to all for your helpful comments and suggestions.

The % matches the S; the IPL matches the IPL; the * matches the AB. So the VOLSER does match the FILTLIST. Here is your WHEN clause: WHEN (&ANYVOL = &VOL_NONSMS OR &HLQ = &HLQ_NONSMS) SET &STORCLAS = '' YOU TOLD THE SYSTEM TO MAKE THE DATASET NON-MANAGED. The system did exactly what you told it. What were you expecting? What part of evaluating this caused you confusion? --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
