Sure do miss JOBCAT and STEPCAT capability; was a wonderful way to never know exactly what...

I think you've hit the nail on the head. I am just taking over responsibility for an already-written-and-documented (albeit largely not yet in use) product. The existing install documentation gives very specific instructions to define an alias. I will change that to simply say "follow your organization's usual naming and cataloging standards" or some such.

MVS sysprog 101 tells you that almost nothing goes in the MCAT other than the "sysres" data sets and shops already have standards for how ISV install and run time data sets are named and where they get cataloged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
