<snip> Nosing around in ISMF, I pulled up a management class, named "standtso" that has Expire-Non-Usage of 550 and Expire-Days of Nolimit. So, my interpretation of that is that if any dataset with the management class of standtso, would expire, and thus be deleted if not opened in the last 550 days.
The questions I have arise that I see quite a number of standtso datasets with "Last Referenced Date" in the 1990's !? Some are not even hsm-migrated. Shouldn't any and all datasets that have a Last-Referenced-Date before 2011 be gone due to this Expire-Non-Usage of 550? </snip> It would help if the entire MGMTCLAS description were posted. As previously mentioned, when was the last time expirebv was run. Also, IIRC, check on the DBU attribute. i.e. a migrated copy cannot be deleted unless there is a backup. There is a patch to change the HSM default behavior in this area. <snip> And a couple side-bar questions....in ISMF option 1 Datasets. It seems like if I enter *.** for dataset name, it tacks my userid as the HLQ of the resulting list. </snip> This is normal TSO usage. Set PROFILE NOPREFIX in ISPF. <snip> If I wanted all datasets that are in management class "standard". I can page down and type criteria Management class ame eq standard........but how do I get ALL such datasets without having to do something like single-quoted dataset name 'A.**' then 'B.**' then 'C.**' etc. If I type single quoted '*.**' it wants a catalog name Is the only way to specify all datasets, ie single-quoted '*.**' is to do so one catalog name at a time? </snip> DCOLLECT is your friend.
