I'd use the password fields to tell which is which, for example MDISK A190 3390 nnn mmm oldvol RR OLD190 TOREMOVE yyyymmdd MDISK 0190 3390 kkk mmm newvo RR ALL And, if you have an ESM, the passwords on the MDISK records don't count anymore, so you can then also store some information on the 190 MDISK record. 2008/6/27 Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, Howard. > > No, there is no effect on the CMS saved segments...they are only > effected if you change the their contents, not just their location. > > Howard Rifkind wrote: >> >> One addition question: >> Doesn't all of this (19E & 19D) have some effect on the saved >> segments for CMS? >> >>>>> Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/27/2008 9:52 AM >>> >> >> Hi, Howard. >> >> Try the following: >> >> 1) create another VM user id with the proper privileges.
