I checked and the job had RETAINVERSIONS(0). According to the doc and your help, this parm if used no versions will be retained.
Thank you for your help. --- On Wed, 18/6/08, Adams, Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Adams, Rick <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: DFHSM QUESTION - EXPIREBV - URGENT To: [email protected] Received: Wednesday, 18 June, 2008, 4:45 AM If the command did not use a RETAINVERSIONS I believe it will remove it regardless of the management class.

If you look in the syslog, where the command ran, you should be able to find who issued it. If it was a batch job you may need to look at SMF to find jobs that started at about the same time.
