Is there any output in OUTFILE? How large is the catalog? Does SDSF show the LISTCAT step active (CPU time and I/O count advancing)?
Can you specify the level or entry operand to limit the output? The only problem I have ever noticed when the catalog has wrong volume data is a relatively straight-forward error message and processing continues with the next catalog entry. This only seems to occur for VSAM datasets. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Ten Eyck Sent: Wednesday, March 19, 2008 11:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: user catalog question Thanks for your replies. I am now just getting back to this problem. My previous posts within my user catalog question were me asking how to do something, let me now tell you why I am asking. I ran into this problem at DR. I import a user a catalog (CATALOG.MVSICF1.VUSRCAT) and connect it to a master catalog on a different z/OS system. On this different system the DASD does not align with CATALOG.MVSICF1.VUSRCAT, meaning that many DASD data set are not on the volume that CATALOG.MVSICF1.VUSRCAT thinks it is. If I run the job below, it seems to either loop or run for a very long time, 3 plus hours before I cancel it. What happens when I do a listcat on a catalog that does not match the location of many of the data sets on DASD volumes? //TZLISTC JOB CLASS=S //SCRTCH EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //D1 DD DSN=TECH.VUSRCAT.LISTC,DISP=(MOD,DELETE), // UNIT=SYSALLDA,VOL=SER=Z17RS1,SPACE=(0,0) //LISTC EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * LISTC ALL OUTFILE(OUTFILE) CAT(CATALOG.MVSICF1.VUSRCAT) /* //OUTFILE DD DSN=TECH.VUSRCAT.LISTC,DISP=(,KEEP), // UNIT=SYSALLDA,VOL=SER=Z17RS1,SPACE=(TRK,(45,45),RLSE), // DCB=(RECFM=VBA,LRECL=125,BLKSIZE=27998) // ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
