Sorry, I should have typed "IDCAMS ALTER cannot assign a NULL management class value" to be more precise.
Obviously, the ACS routines can assign a NULL MGMTCLAS. Back in 2011, the solution was to add logic to the ACS routine to assign a null value when a NULL management class was specified: "I defined a new managementclass NULL, then added the suggested ACS routine and was able to drive the routines with the following ALTER job: //SYSIN DD * ALTER DT62659.CSILC.OUTPUT NEWNAME(DT62659.CSILC.TEMP) ALTER DT62659.CSILC.TEMP NEWNAME(DT62659.CSILC.OUTPUT) - MGMTCLAS(NULL) /*" Greg -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert A.
