It depends. First of all, I'm not sure why you have different master catalogs. And I'm not sure you want to do a REPRO MERGECAT at all. That will remove the entries from your source catalog. That said, you can certainly IMPORT CONNECT yout other master catalog and define aliases for those HLQs. Of course, this won't help if you need the data sets in the master catalog, e.g. because they are in LNKLST or LPALST. You can also use DEFINE NONVSAM to catalog them in your new catalog. -- 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
