Caveat: I get the daily digest (as well as being behind on my reading) so this may have been hashed apart already.
Using the SCDS named '*ACTIVE*' (quotes are required) in ISMF will provide the same information as the DISPLAY SMS console command. Issue your VARY then refresh the ISMF screen to see the new values. (No, ISMF does *not* auto-update. It's an ISPF application and the panel needs to go out and get the new status.) If you're uncertain, REFRESH on the command-line. (of course, any sort values you might have used are gone so you'll need to reissue the command ie. REFRESH;SORT 39 IN D 4 IN D 2.) ps. If you want to see what you'd get if you did SETSMS SCDS(), use the actual SCDS name ie. 'SYS4.DFSMS.IGDSMS00.SCDS' (local name), in ISMF. pps. I use SMS10 for a staging configuration that can be tested using NaviQuest, SETSMS SCDS(SMS10) so I can revert back if necessary, then transfer SMS10 to SMS00 & SETSMS SCDS(SMS00) when the config has been stable for several weeks. ppps. For the inevitable question, more info on NaviQuest can be found in the SMS Storage Admin Reference manual(s). --------> signature = 6 lines follows <-------- Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee "How *do* you plan for something like that?"
