have you tried putting the dataset name in quotes on your IEFBR14 using the DISP=(OLD,DELETE) parameter like this DSN='P.FSPOL.SBHF38AA(0)' Data set names on the tape HDR1 record (assuming standard labels were used) is only the last 17 characters on the tape, but not on the catalog entry. HTH

Question: Is the high-level qualifier "P" connected to catalog "PROD.USERCAT"? If not, can you do that without causing other grief? And after that, can you rerun the IEFBR14 with DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE)?

I think that the control statement would be UNCATLG DSNAME=P.FSPOL.SBHF38AA(0) (at least one blank before the UNCATLG). Bill Ken Leidner wrote: > For the few people that have not understood.
