John, If you have all of your SMF data, you should be able to find the tracks of the culprit by scanning for:
SMF66SUB = "UP" SMF66CNM = "ICF Catalog Dataset Name" SMF66TYP = "B" SMF66ENM = "GDG Base Dataset Name" If it was done months ago, this may involve a lot of processing; it will all depend on how much frothing at the mouth is going on. You will probably have to dump the records in char/hex format to show the change in the generation count, but it should be pretty easy to see once you have extracted the records. John P.

Apparently somebody needed an older generation and the programmer came to Production Control asking who changed the number of gens from 30 (as he recalls it being) to only 6. I have no idea how important this is. Likely is it just for our management to be able to scream at somebody (but not me, I didn't do it!).
