Did you try 8 Hyphens? Alter name MGMTCLAS(--------)
The only other thought is a DFDSS Dump and Restore with a NULLMGT Class parm But that would only work if they are not allocated. I guess I am curious as to why you are changing the mgmt classes on so many files?

Using ( - ) and (-) both return the same message, mgmtclas does not exist. I can't use the panels because I have tens of thousands of datasets to change. Any other suggestions? David G.

The ALTER command there allows the use of a single hyphen.

Schlecht Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 7:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: IDCAMS ALTER to delete MANAGEMENTCLASS I can use IDCAMS ALTER to change a Management Class of a dataset but can’t seem to delete one. I have seen some old documentation where the syntax was: MANAGEMENTCLASS( -NULL- ) But that doesn’t work (no management class with that name) and no other attempt with NULL or blanks works. Current documentation says nothing about removing Management Class from a dataset. How does one do it? David G.
