Hi all ,

I am curently working Cobol enterprise version.
In our project we have certain datasets which go to 'migrated' state after a day or two of non - usage.
How can i prevent this unwanted migration?
Is there any rexx tool wherein if i run that tool , it automatically opens and closes the datasets everyday?
Or is there any other option in which we can delay the migration ?

Every DATA SET has a Management class associated with it during the time of its creation which you can explicitly mention while u are creating.
Each Management class has a lot of parameters like EXPIRE NON-USAGE,CMD AUTO MIGRATE, RETENTION LIMIT, RETAIN DAYS ONLY BACKUP to mention a few. Choose a Management class that has CMD AUTO MIGRATE as NONE or a LATER DATE and the DS will be migrated as u wish. But these Management class are installation dependent parameters, you must check with ur MVS System Admin.
