Probably because IEHPROGM is a very old program, predating SMS by decades. There was probably a an error from the RENAME macro with status code 2: | 2 (X'02') | One of the following conditions occurred: | | | | | | The data set could not be renamed because the | | | data set was password protected and the password | | | was not supplied in the two attempts allowed. | | | | | | An attempt was made to rename a VSAM data space | | | or an integrated catalog facility VSAM data set. | | | | | | An attempt was made to rename a VTOC index data | | | set. | | | | | | An SMS-validation failure occurred. | As has been mentioned by others, you can not use IEHPROGM to rename an SMS-managed data set because every SMS-managed data set must be cataloged. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
