Ted, The management class is stored in the catalog (BCS), that is why it shows up on a LISTC. Yes, it can be ALTERed in the BCS without the dataset being recalled, but I doubt that will have any effect on HSM, since I believe he stores the management class in the MCDS record when he migrates a dataset. It might be possible to use FIXCDS to change the management class in the MCDS record, but I do not know the correct record type/offset to change.

The management class is stored in the VVDS, or in some HSM control block. Laspt I checked, ALTER didn't talk directly to HSM. - 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 CONFIDENTIALITY/EMAIL NOTICE: The material in this transmission contains confidential and privileged information intended only for the addressee.
