The storage administrator might believe, "No one but a storage administrator could acquire the skills necessary to use ADRDSSU!" And, "White men can't jump; we don't even let them try out!"
I wasn't thinking of volume restore; I was only experimenting with ADRDSSU as an alternative to TSO TRANSMIT for data interchange. And I was somewhat dismayed to learn that ADRDSSU RESTORE with RENAME requires READ authority to the original data set name. I understand the rationale for this, but it paints with too broad a brush; READ authority to the archive and WRITE authority to the new data set name should suffice. What if the original data set name doesn't even exist on the receiving system, and UACC=NONE? -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
