Not by normal z/OS operations, but by ACTIVATE and by HCD. For both ACTIVATE and HCD, it has to be found using the normal catalog search order. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
