The rule is NO UNCATALOGED DATASET in SMS MANAGED POOLs.
It theoretically should not work if you try to uncatalog a dataset that is SMS
Managed. This should fail.

Hi Lizette,
Well - this is my confusion then. In the documentation for the unCATALOG
function (CATALOG with CAMLST that specifies UNCAT), it says:
Restriction:
The CAMLST UNCAT or UCATDX function is not supported for
system-managed
data sets. These are ignored. The function is not performed
and the return
code is 0.
This is why I was wondering if simply executing the unCATALOG would
"just work".
In situations where it was really needed, it would be there; and in the SMS
situation it would just 'not work' - but return a return-code of 0.
Regarding my other question - I was curious about how you could
programmatically
tell, given a DSN, if the file is SMS-managed. A file should have a
management-class
if-and-only-if it is SMS-managed; so I suppose SVC 99 could be used to
return
the management class... if the file has it; then it's SMS-managed, if
it doesn't
then it's not SMS-managed? Would that be one possibility?
