Victor,
Don't ever think of asking questions on IBM-Main as an abuse. That's one of
the main reasons for IBM-Main's existence.
I assume that you meant using VnRnMn in dataset names. My position is don't
use them. If you have JCL, Clists, or Execs that have system dataset names
in them, every time you upgrade the operating system, you will have to
change those JCL, Clists, or Execs. It might be handy if you had 2 Lpars
and a quick look at the RES volume would show which version is which, but it
could lead to a lot more work.
Personally, I like to make all of the datasets SYS1. something, rather than
using the names supplied by IBM. I always did it that way in the past, but
in my current job, we use the IBM supplied names.

Subject: Re: Doubt about Server Pac and Catalogs
I read all your responses. I'm not sure I've understood all of them, but I
could learn a couple of things. By the way, I've several doubts about
installing the system, and as long as I'm talking to "the best of the
best"
in system programmer's world, I'll send you another question. Hope you
don't
see it as an abuse.
In addition of talking about catalogs (thanks to John for the
clarification), you can read IBM recommends not using VnRnMn anymore. I'm
sure you have followed that recommendation for years, and I would like to
know what are the advantages and disadvantages (a posteriori) of this
technique. I suppose some of my mates will not like this change, so I'd
like
to know some expert information about it.
Thanks all you very much!
