Hi John - Just for the heck of it, I opened my CSS source dataset in my SANDBOX LPAR and was able to view the data while I was viewing it in my Production LPAR.
I think that the source VSAM file is like the Abendaid dump file, but I'm not sure. You might be O.K. sharing the Dump across LPAR's We are also basic sysplex.
