HSM will backup empty datasets; it will not backup datasets which have an unknown DSORG. I usually setting up a "default" dataclass containing minimal information. By assigning this default, a DSORG of PS is assigned, which will allow HSM to process the dataset.
If more extensive attributes need to be assigned, another dataclass can be used or supplied in JCL. Hope this helps.
