Bob, Ok. Thanks all. Wondering, though, why the DEFINE doesn't catalog the SYS1 in the master cat. A define of vsam with my id catalogs fine. And why the screwy results from 3.4? The full name works? But SYS1.VVDS.VHAW15* doesn't?
Don, I do have 2 lpars but I did this all in the span of a few minutes. The test lpar did not come in to play. Tom, a listc of SYS1.VVDS.VHAW157 with no catalog parm fails. With a catalog parm of the cat that DSN120T is in, it works. Although I'm guessing this would not have worked either before the datasets existed on the volume. I'll play a little more with your other suggestions but I think all is working well. Just need to think out side the box apparently. Oh, and this is an SMS managed volume. Maybe an acs routine is doing something too. Havent looked into that.
