Ahhhh. We don't have enough data to migrate so that hadn't occurred to me. Of course!

Hence the OP request to change last access time WITHOUT a recall (i.e. without OPEN). Plus recalling really large datasets from ML2 can take quite a lot of elapsed time.

Now, OP had something about "the files are large" but if anyone explained why that mattered for this, I missed it. Does it? -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> On Behalf Of Seymour J Metz Sent: Monday, August 5, 2024 3:46 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: How to "touch" mainframe files An authorized application can directly update the VTOC, but an unauthorized application needs the allocation and OPEN.
