Glen There are a couple of peculiarities about your posts.
1. They appeared in a Google Groups digest and they appear in Google Groups but they do *not* appear in the archives of IBM-MAIN. You are presumably not using the option to receive e-mails of IBM-MAIN posts - and to initiate threads and reply by e-mail - so I suggest you use the archives to post in future. You can navigate from the following page: Archives of [email protected] http://alabamamaps.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html 2. I see you adopt a very compact technique for posting which incorporates the Subject line as an integral part of the post - a mite confusing initially - and also since you replied to yourself in order to offer further information - somewhat contradicting your subject line, in fact! - You are correct that these datasets are those used by VTAM when enabled for APPN, specifically when the INITDB start option specifies ALL. A sort-of answer to your question is that, if you change the INITDB start option value from ALL to NONE, the next time you start VTAM, you will find that the data sets are no longer allocated to the VTAM address space and you will be able to delete them. You will find the matter discussed in section "Checkpointing of the TRS database and the directory database" in Chapter 13, "Network routing" of the Communications Server SNA Network Implementation Guide. I assume this doesn't really answer your question since you specify "dynamically". I assume what you really wanted was to be able to delete the data sets while VTAM was active - although why you didn't refer to them VTAM data sets originally then also becomes a mystery! - I am going to post this through the archives with the Subject line adjusted: The original post, consolidated is as follows: <quote> Is anyone familiar with a technique for moving these APPC datasets dynamically? SYS1.DSDBCTRL SYS1.DSDB1 SYS1.DSDB2 SYS1.TRSDB APPN checkpoint datasets, I think. Glen Gasior </quote> I'm going to copy you on this in case you might otherwise miss it.
