Re: SMS Question - Rename STORAGE CLASS
Again, why? What does he think this will gain him? Storage class rarely has any effect on an existing data set. If he is worried about restores, it might be easier to deal with in ACS. If this really has to happen, build a list of the DSNs (e.g., 3.4) in a dataset and run a little rexx to alter the storclas of each DSN in the dataset. -Original Message- From: John Dawes [mailto:snip] Sent: Monday, October 29, 2007 8:36 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: SMS Question - Rename STORAGE CLASS The user wants to change the STORAGE CLASS of his datasets which were created prior to the creation of the new storage class.

Re: SMS Question - Rename STORAGE CLASS
We still don't know what problem you are trying to solve. Why do you want to change the storage class of any existing datasets? You have fixed things so he doesn't need to change his JCL.

Please feel free to make suggestions. Did you consider re-setting the storclas he used in your routines to the storclas you wanted? It would prevent changes to his JCL's Procs and you still would have assigned the StorClas appropriate for that partition. dd keller ** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).

I would have put in something like IF STORCLAS = 'x' THEN SET STORCLAS = 'y' Regards, John -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html

This way he wouldn't have to change his jcls, procs. I hope this was not an ordinary user specifying storage class.

John, I am in a bind, can I rename a storage class? I am hesitant to try it out because I don't have a test system. If it is possible, could there be problems? I assume that I will need to do the translate, validate and activate. If you have never assigned the storage class, it is no problem. If you already have datasets with the storage class, I recommend you leave the existing storage class in place and only assign the new name going forward. It would be difficult to hunt down every dataset using the old storage class. See IDCAMS ALTER command if you really need to eliminate the old storage class name everywhere. I would still keep it in the SMS configuration just in case you missed any datasets.
