Thank you all for your input. Regarding the last comments, my problem is that I have found multiple "SMS" uncatalogued datasets. A few are rolled out GDG versions, but most are not. And yes, the environment in a parallel sysplex with two master catalogs, but those files are all (were) in user catalogs visible on all lpars with shared alias. I am excluding from this search the master catalogue aliases, such as SYS1. Prior to looking for help I was considering a rexx using the catalog search interface to validate the files, but I would prefer a more standard approach if I could find one. Regards Jack
