A new LNKLST set without the data sets is not sufficient. The old LNKLST set will still be active, and the data set still in use. See topic "Removing or compressing a data set in an active LNKLST set" in the MVS Initialization and Tuning reference. In order to be effective, after creating and activating the new LNKLST set, you need to issue LNKLST UPDATE JOB(*) so that no active address space using the old LNKLST set. However, be aware that doing so involves risk. Many of us have done so and gotten away with it, but if you are unlucky, you may have to IPL to recover from the errors that were caused. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
