John, Sorry for the delayed response, but I think you might be interested in Gilbert Saint-Flour's CLEANUP program, which can be found in file 183 of the CBT tape (http://www.cbttape.org). You wanted an easy way to prevent the HSM recalls, so I think this will suit your needs quite nicely since it only requires a one-line insertion into the JCL at the beginning of the jobstream.
//CLEANUP EXEC PGM=CLEANUP The CLEANUP program has other functions as well, but the one you are interested in scans the SWA Control blocks for any non-GDG datasets allocated via JCL with DISP=(NEW,CATLG) or DISP=(MOD,CATLG) and deletes them up front. Please note the second one as it may not serve the purposes of your installation. CLEANUP is freeware, so you can copy and modify as needed, but as usual with freeware, there is no warranty. Note: This will only be a possible solution for the IEFBR14 deletions you described and will *not* handle the IDCAMS with NONVSAM. Fixing those will require some additional work. Disclaimer: Please evaluate your installation JCL thoroughly and test prior to inserting this program into any production job. The last thing you want to do is to delete a production dataset coded with MOD,CATLG that is designed to append data throughout the day. Hope this helps, Hank On Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:55:54 -0400, Tom Sipusic <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >John Mattson wrote: >> Programmers have been deleting for years using BR14 (MOD,DELETE), and >> IDCAMS DELETE.
