Mike, It may well do so, however when invoked it must do so by not specifying by DSN. I honestly don't know the format of the the RMM dataset so unless it's some off the wall format (I suspect it's VSAM), there is no reason it can't be done by IDCAMS unless it's not really VSAM at all in which case IBM should be shot.
