Rick, Oops, I should have added the word *catalog* to my sentence. It should have read "primary CATALOG backup and recovery tool". I have no problem with DFSMShsm for most other things.
Lizette, we are talking "ICF" catalogs, not "DB2" catalogs. --------------------------------------------------------- Robert B.
