Charles, you are a far braver man than I. If this were in place I couldn't sleep.

Signed,
Old Guy Easily Frightened.

Thanks. I did not have a convenient way to do "yyddd" but I did at least
change it to

SYS%%%%%.T%%%%%%.RA000.**

Yes, it will get a false positive on SYSHELLO.THEATRE.RA000.FOO.BAR but I
would think you are kind of asking for trouble if you name your dataset
that.

Charles,

with 'SYS*.T*.R*.**' list you may pick SYS1.TOPSCRET.RACF.LIST files which
is not a temp dataset . So I would suggest adding YY and DDD also to your
search list 'SYSyyddd.T*.R*.**'

Here is a link to naming convention of temp datasets

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/iea2b6b1/12.22.2.
6?

All temporary data set names begin as follows:

         SYSyyddd.Thhmmss.RA000.jjobname
