is it possible for a VSAM file on an SMS managed volume to be deleted while it is still allocated to a job?
i am trying to determine how and when a file got deleted (ie: either while the job was running or afterwards). i am not sure if the file was actually opened by the program executing the job step, but it was allocated to the job stream via jcl with the IGD103I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME message issued. and i do not think that the program would have dynamically de-allocated the file. if it matters, the VSAM file was defined with share options 4,3. thanks in advance for any info about this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
