This only works for non-VSAM. Renaming a VSAM dataset leaves it in the same catalog.

Two SMP/E CSI's were created on one of our test LPARS before the HLQ Alias was added. These are now cataloged in the master catalog. Is there any simple way to create the alias and get them cataloged into the user catalog they belong in? I'm not strong on VSAM. Any JCL, etc is greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone have a method/JCL to copy a .CSI to another LPAR? -------------------------------------------------- Try this for the catalog issue: (1) Rename the 2 datasets. Make the names start with something OTHER THAN the HLQ for which you will create the alias. Use IDCAMS or just do it from TSO or ISPF. (2) Add the alias to the master catalog. (3) Rename the datasets back to their original name. If you did 1 and 2 right, the datasets will now be catalogued in the UCAT associated with the alias added in 2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
