I'm inclined to give the OP the BOTD also. But one point of clarification... Are they looking for a list of changes? Or are they looking for e.g the latest SMF manual? Cheers, Martin Martin Packer Performance Consultant IBM United Kingdom Ltd +44-20-8832-5167 +44-7802-245-584 [EMAIL

A reply of U would be acceptable in this case. It's a matter of time-stamps not agreeing, etc. If you had a second SYSPLEX active sharing the same DASD, then I'd be busily checking that this dataset was not, in fact, in use by the other SYSPLEX. Rick

Fortunately, there are no other sysplexes other than this one SCPLX1. However, I knew that since this was the ACOUPLE datasets that were affected, and we were running fine on the primary ones, I just went ahead and did a delete, Define (using the utility) and then issued the SETXCF
