You may be thinking of DMS/OS aka SAMS:DISK aka CA-DISK. ________________________________ From: Tom Brennan <t...@tombrennansoftware.com> Sent: Friday, May 29, 2020 23:27 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: TIME a data set was created? Semi-Related - I seem to remember a software product, not sure what the name was, that would poke a date and maybe other information in "unused" fields in the VTOC for each dataset. Maybe it was a last-opened date or similar. And it might have been a product that did a bit of what HSM does, prior to HSM becoming popular. Just trying to jog my lost memories from the early 1980's.
