Hi, Thank you for the suggestion The why I am going through DCOLLECT records at this point it is precisely because of the wasted space due to datasets that have not been used for over a year (at least). It was going through this records that I became aware of the existence of uncatalogued datasets. That is why I am trying to come up with a process that can find them, so I can dispose of them. And I want it to be as simple and standard as possible. Regards Jack
