Well... you're right as the VVDS works fine now. However, I was wondering how would the VVDS can be referred without the Cluster Entry Record? Or it doesn't really need to have cluster record in fact? When a SMS dataset or NON-SMS VSAM is being referred via the related UCAT, system can just point to that VVDS directly thru the VolumeID that the related Dataset and VVDS reside?

It is good to try to understand how it works, but in this case I don't think it's worth trying to prove you have a cluster entry for every VVDS - it just doesn't matter that much. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
