I’ve been waiting for someone who knows something about BLSR to chime in, but here goes. As I recall (it’s been years since I did this) when you use BLSR you add a new DD statement that points to your cluster, and then the original DD statement is changed to ‘SUBSYS=(BLSR,'DDNAME=newdd',…)’. So the SUBSYS parameter is on a different DD statement from the reference to the SMS-managed dataset, and the rule about not using them together is followed. -- Pew, Curtis G curtis....@austin.utexas.edu ITS Systems/Core/Administrative Services ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
