So to answer the ops original question. One way of bypassing normal catalog rules is by running DFDSS and using the catalog parm. This will bypass and use whatever catalog is specified. I would say some did some DFDSS function and that is how the dataset ended up in your master catalog. You deleted it the correct way.

The IODF does not need to be in the master catalog in order to be used for IPL. In fact, the IODF is only used at IPL/NIP time and not by z/OS during normal operations at all. But if you really, really want it in the master catalog, you __might__ be able to do a REPRO MERGECAT function on the entry in the user catalog, moving it into the master. I'd strongly recommend against doing this! -- John McKown Maranatha! <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 This communication is for informational purposes only.
