Gil and Steve (and probably others who feel the same way), Before you get too whack-happy, there are other reasons why something like this could show up. At some point in the deep, dark past, if the system fell over for whatever reason (power outage, operator - or sysprog - error that caused an immediate drop, etc.) temporary datasets can be left out there. This scenario hasn't happened to me in a long time so I don't know if IBM changed the system IPL to clean up old temporary datasets or not. If IBM has added a cleanup routine, or if it is found that some poor JCL coder did code a DISP on a temporary dataset, then by all means, whack away. :-) Rex --------------- I stand appropriately corrected for assuming more than the OP said. And further, my example was incorrect. It should not have contained CATLG but KEEP. So I should be the one being whacked in this case.
