Just to be my usual self. In general in CS, "reentrant" does not mean
"non-self modifying". Many programs which do not modify themselves are
still not reentrant due to uncoordinated updating of shared resources.
Likewise, if done properly a self modifying program can still be
reentrant.

Although the utility refers to the 3495/3494, it talks to OAM. If the

I'm working on a project which involves "converting" a lot of VSAM
files. So far, I've restricted myself to using PDSes and REXX. Everybody
in my group (mainframe sysprogs) understands these. But, for my own

John,
Even an easier way. Go into CA-1's ISPF interface and change the
expiration date to tomorrow. This will take it out of scratch status in
CA-1. Now you need to run CA-1's CTSSYNC program to update the SMS
status. JCL:
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=CTSSYNC
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
VERIFY
SYNC
v
Changing the status in ISMF has no effect on CA1. To change it in CA1, use
the CA1 panels to update the EXPDT to a future date.
Thank you and have a Terrific day!

Mark,
I tried out your suggestion. I even activated the SMS environment. However
when I check in CA-1 it still shows the tape as scratch. Is there anything
else I need to do?

Mark,
I tried your suggestion, however when I type PRIVATE in the USE ATTR field it
keeps going back to scratch. I am sure I am doing something wrong. Where do I
