It is strictly a security violation issue. With CA-ACF2, you are required to have ALTER/CREATE authority to catalog a dataset. What is a little "strange" is that it only requires UPDATE level access to write to the tape. So an application that has READ and UPDATE access can create a new file and read it; but not catalog it to the MVS/Catalog. I imagine this is because you do not "create" a tape; you simply update it with a new dataset.
But the bottom line is that in order to catalog this dataset on the MVS/Catalog, you will need ALTER/CREATE authority (not just UPDATE authority) to the dataset name being cataloged.

Also include the label i.e. 1,sl. I used the hard coded dsn and vol ser to copy the tape. But I wasn't able to catalog it. Since I wanted an old tape for testing purposes, this was good enough. But I would like to find out why we can't catalog the old tape. >Howard Brazee <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: I needed access to a scratched tape for testing.
