Hi,
I have the task of removing CA-PDSMAN from two of our systems.
We currently use the following functions:
* PDSMAN Library Space Reuse facility
* Dynamic BLDL Facility
* Remote Data Compare
I believe I can convert my PDS¹s to PDS/e¹s to negate the need for the Space
Reuse facility.

Hi,
A logical volume got SCRATCHED in 1999, yet RMM still shows 209 DS on it.
Tape is in SCR status in RMM/SMS.
It's strange to me that tape has not been used in 10 years,
so I wonder if there's something wrong with the definition/parms of RMM.
Or are there special processing one needs to run
Rez, Since the volume is scratch there is no problem with the VRS. As long as
the RMM CDS, TCDB volume entry, and the outboard library all agree on the
status it is now up to the library to decide when and whether to mount that
scratch volume. Depending on your library there may be different

This is correct. Look in that field for the string 'MSTR' This is what LLA,
as of z/OS 1.9,looks at. If it is not started with SUB=MSTR, it terminates
itself and then restarts itself having added SUB=MSTR to the start
This did it. My transaction was running in class 5, and my MPP region wasn't

Thanks! Man, details! :)
