Correct. And if you set the GDG to NOSRCATCH before replacing a data set, then change the GDG back to SCRATCH, and if a new generation that would have caused an old one to roll off is created during the interval, I suspect that old generation would have to be scratched manually. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
