I prefer to have the ISV datasets in LINKLST statements in PROGxx cataloged in the master catalog and not use volume references. My co-worker doesn't think it as a big deal and usually uses a load library cataloged in the ISV usercat and a volume reference.
Am I just being anal (I really don't like volume references in parm members anywhere I can avoid them), or is the a legitimate concern that would support either position? We place such datasets on Non-SMS volumes shared between the four LPARS. We do not share master catalogs or in most cases user catalogs.
