Tom
where do you specify this ARCHIVE (of this specific directory)  ... is it in
the dsm.opt file as part of
incl/excl or as seperate arch command within the dsm.opt or  .... ??
( ..... i ask because i have to setup an automated schedule for archiving
purposes )
and yes i think those entries get deleted !!
