Restoring from tape recreates users 2

[smah]

When restoring from a tape dump, some purged users are automatically recreated. I assume there must be files being restored that are attributed to these users. How would I go about finding what's recreating the users?

The RESTORE command with the CREATE option will recreate the user that created the file. The LIST option of the RESTORE command will show you which files created which users.

Thanks, now I need to figure out what to do about it. Is there a way to change the user attributed to these files?

You can change the user a couple of ways, the easiest would be if you have MPEX, VESOFT and using the ALTFILE command.

ALTFILE ZIPJ;CREATOR=MGR.ACCT1.

If you don't have MPEX, you can make a copy of the file, rename the existing file, the copy the file back to its original location. The user will now be how you are signed on.

Thx
