To all Many thanks to all who replied on IBM-MAIN and more off-list!
Wow, I can't believe there are so many friendly IBM-MAIN persons there! Ok, for archive purposes - there are many tools available: DFSORT - Yes, I'm familiar with that, but to create jobs with all the record selections will take me a while and I'm pressed to get solution quickly. Scanning with SDSF could help, but that is tedious. DAF - Hmmm, that is news to me that it can handle 92 too. Ok, I'm going to download that and play with it. MXG? Sorry, we don't have SAS in the first place. Omegamon - still in installation phase in our sandbox despite my RACF homework being completed. Not useful at this stage. EasySMF and Spectrum SMF Writer. 30 days trail. I believe there are gazillion more. (I think, with z/OS v2.1 the RMF spreadsheet reporter could help with it?) Ok, I tried out to download all of them. Due to network issues on our side, I could only use EasySMF for now because of time constraints and I found the reason: The reason why that symbolics disappeared during IPL (great!) was with the use of comment in the one line in a batch job: BPXBATCH SH rm /tmp/ /* Edit TSO UserId */ Can you believe it? The '/*' before the 'Edit' was interpreted as 'delete the whole planet earth, below and down...' Never again will that comment be allowed there. ;-) Many thanks to all who helped me out.
