I would expect HSM must be running in order to delete a migrated dataset... HSM has to be told at some level to delete it. Your first test I assume you see messages in the job log about the dataset being recalled? Does it make a difference if the dataset is migrated to second level or not? I don't know which messages you saw that lead you to believe is was recalled. I think a conclusive test would be ... A - migrate a dataset B - IEFBR14 DISP=OLD,UNIT=(,,DEFER) C - Is dataset recalled or not? Repeat with step A being "migrate to second level" (just for fun) I doubt very much the DISP parm matters, either the dataset will be recalled or it won't, based on the DEFER option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
