sorry no it is not a dataset. It is blocks read by the o/s, ok, with indexes, etc. but it is not interfaced by a file system.

One thing always comes to mind re ckpt/warm - it bugs me that they are

Alan's advice and complain.

Ummm....I meant call and complain about things that don't work well/correctly. (And PERM is more like the *absence* of an allocation type. I.e. if it isn't SPOL, PAGE, DRCT, or TEMP, it must be PERM.)

Yup I know a CMS mdisk allocated as PERM
could contain CPLOAD and CONFIG, but at least it is a CMS minidisk, as
opposed to warm/ckpt which are just blocks, not a "dataset" (whatever
that is).

It is an organized set of data. It is a dataset. It just doesn't look like the other ones you've seen. :-)
