I need to correct a typeO. The ALTER command will not attempt to recall the data set. It does change the management class in place.

You're correct. You cannot change any migrated dataset, at rest. The ACS routines are only re-driven at recall. And, ALTER will probably recall. Then, you are stuck until the new retention period has expired. I'd suggest an HLIST output, parsed by a REXX programme to generate HDELs. I've not done it myself, but HLIST output is eminately PARSable. I did do it, with SAS, 20 years ago. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
