There is a patch to change this behavior. See the HSM DBU function in the DFSMShsm Diagnosis Guide...
<snip> HSM will not delete a dataset that is supposed to have a backup but doesn't. Check your HSM space management job output and look for code 53 errors. These are delete candidates that don't have backups so HSM can't delete them. Do your datasets show up on this list? If so, they need backups or need manual intervention. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
