A *LONG* time ago we had a user who created BDAM "LIKE" datasets. At the time we could not back these dataset up with any known utilities except for the ones supplied by the vendor.
When we looked at (at the time HSM) it didn't look like it supported calling a user program to backup these data sets. Since I have moved on and really lost interest in the project or its consequences I remembered the issue when Seymour brought up the HASPACE point (thanks). Question is there now a way currently in DFHSM to back up these "user" datasets (using a callable module)? Just a point of curiosity at this point (I think they have since gone to VSAM but that is beside the point) Thanks, Ed ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
