Actually did try that and got the same result. There must be some way to do this because it's too hard to imagine that I'm doing something someone else hasn't done before.

Alter name MGMTCLAS(--------) The only other thought is a DFDSS Dump and Restore with a NULLMGT Class parm But that would only work if they are not allocated. I guess I am curious as to why you are changing the mgmt classes on so many files?

Using ( - ) and (-) both return the same message, mgmtclas does not exist. I can't use the panels because I have tens of thousands of datasets to change. Any other suggestions? David G.

Schlecht Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 7:51 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: IDCAMS ALTER to delete MANAGEMENTCLASS I can use IDCAMS ALTER to change a Management Class of a dataset but can’t seem to delete one. I have seen some old documentation where the syntax was: MANAGEMENTCLASS( -NULL- ) But that doesn’t work (no management class with that name) and no other attempt with NULL or blanks works. Current documentation says nothing about removing Management Class from a dataset. How does one do it? David G.
