Good ideas John, The problem is that on both lpars the master catalogs are the same names and the datasets on the test lpar are in the master catalog.

This is the only supported way to do this. Period. You CANNOT access an uncataloged VSAM dataset at all. You CANNOT catalog a VSAM dataset in two different catalogs. Now, if you really want to cheat. And you don't mind the possibility of destroying your VSAM files, then you could DEFINE a usercatalog on the PROD LPAR to have the same name as the catalog in which the VSAM file is defined on the TEST LPAR. You could then DEFINE ... RECATALOG to catalog the VSAM files in that catalog. However, if you do this and it breaks the VSAM files, you are going to be laughed at my all the other geeks. . -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
