You could do that, but I agree with Steve that it is better to define a new HLQ with an alias for that HLQ to a small user catalog on the IODF volume. Then you won't have to worry about it. Note that the catalog is not used at IPL time. The IODF does need to be cataloged to an ACTIVATE, though. IIRC, you are using ======== for the hlq specification in LOADxx. In that case, you could switch to a new HLQ when you create your next IODF. If I were you, I'd probably copy your SYS1.IODF11 to SYSIODF.IODF12 (or whatever hlq you choose to use) and go with that one. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
