I've seen postings that indicate JOBCAT and STEPCAT are being
deprecated by IBM. While researching something else, I came across
something in the DFSMS:Managing Catalogs book for 1.4 that they cause a
performance hit.
Can anyone validate if or when JOBCAT and STEPCAT are going away? We
don't use them as a normal practice but it comes in handy once in a
while when we need to do something with another system's catalog. As
long as we are careful and use it sparingly, we don't seem to suffer
any ill effects.
Given that we already know about the performance implications, does
anyone have any other comments?
Thx
JOBCAT and STEPCAT are gone in z/OS R7.
