If you could GLOBALV SELECT DIRECTXA SETLP BACKUP_TARGET MAINT 555 or GLOBALV SELECT DIRECTXA SETLP BACKUP_TARGET B and DIRECTXA would place a copy of a directory *successfully* placed online on MAINT 555 or filemode B, would that be sufficient to help protect you from casual SNAFUs? You could envision GLOBALV SELECT DIRECTXA SETLP BACKUP_GENERATIONS 3 to make that a bit more sophisticated. While trying to reconstruct a source directory from an object directory might seem logical, far too much information is "lost in translation". Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
