Did you really mean aliases? I though all ACS checking was performed against the real DSN.
Based on the pretty strange requirements your users impose on you, I have to believe they do not pay for your services (e.g., with chargebacks) but your IT budget comes out of general overhead. Are your dataset naming conventions really this flexible. Other than user datasets starting with TSO ID, I don't think I could come up with 700+ patterns until I got to the 8th or 9th qualifier. -----Original Message----- From: willie bunter [mailto:snip] Sent: Friday, February 15, 2008 6:58 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: SMS QUESTION - DATACLAS FILTERLIST Hallo All, I have a request from a user to add about 730 aliases to a TMM DATACLAS FILTLIST. I looked at the prospect of using High Level Qualifiers but these dsns are not using the same dsn patterns. Since SMS has a limit of 255 entries in a FLITLIST I have no choice but to create several other FILTLISTs. The current TMM FILTLIST is as follows: WHEN (&DSN EQ &DSN_TMM) DO SET &DATACLAS = 'TMMBKUP' EXIT END My modification to the existing DATCLAS would read as: WHEN (&DSN EQ &DSN_TMM) OR (&DSN EQ &DSN_TMM2) OR (&DSN EQ &DSN_TMM3) DO SET &DATACLAS = 'TMMBKUP' EXIT END Would this be acceptable? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
