Steve, That's the first place I looked. If any one have LISTCATS of the following type of VSAM dsns I would greatly appreciate it: ESDS, VRRDS & RRDS. I looked at the LISTCAT of the ESDS however it doesn't indicate what type of VSAM file it is in the ATTRIBUTES. Perhaps

All but a handful of our VSAM datasets have allocation JCL in there somewhere. On the odd, one off clusters, that takes more digging.
