When last I read the manual, I was dismayed to discover that reloading an ADRDSSU archive with the RENAME option requires that the programmer have at least READ authority to the original data set name(s). Stupid restriction. It should suffice that the programmer have READ authority to the unloaded archive and WRITE authority to the renamed reloaded data set(s). So, if you send me a data set as an ADRDSSU archive, I can't reload it to my user prefix unless I have READ authority to your prefix. Can an ADRDSSU archive be transmitted over the Internet? I suppose AMATERSE solves most such problems. Can an ADRDSSU archive be tersed? I don't see this done routinely; not, for example, on cbttape.org. And when this topic arose here previously, there was a strong sentiment that I shouldn't even be allowed to use ADRDSSU; its use should be restricted to qualified data administrators who would have the needed privileges and skills. -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
