Thanks for the feedback. No joy finding said SAS job. Seems I've exhausted any solutions from this group. I'll open a ticket with IBM and see if there is anyone else who might have a solution.
Again, thanks for all the input. David G.

Somewhere in the last 40+ years there was a SAS job that altered the MCDS (or was it the BCDS)? It ran through the entire CDS in a few minutes and then you would run expirebv and magically all those datasets would evaporate. I am trying to remember where the SAS job came from but cannot say for sure but it might have come from Berry Merrils(sp?) collection of SAS jobs, I just do not remember sorry. But somewhere out there is a a SAS job that marks the HSM cds's properly for clean up. Ed On Feb 7, 2013, at 12:05 PM, David G.
