The ability to expunge old data set records from the RMM CDS is required

Due to the first in first out usage of scratch volumes in SMSTAPE and the fact that DFRMM maintains the data set records for volumes in scratch status, the RMM CDS may become full of data set records that are very old and unneeded. These records e...

DFSMSrmm does not use UNIT specified in ISPF's ISPF Configuration Utility, but uses SYSALLDA specified in CLIST.

When I try to use the DFSMSrmm "G (Report Generation)" feature, SYS1.SEDGEXE1 (EDGRGREP) runs and userid.REPORT.LIB / userid.REPORT.JCL is allocated.The allocation parameter in SYS1.SEDGEXE1 (EDGRGREP) specifies UNIT (SYSALLDA), so it will try to ...
