Let's start at the beginning. In 3.4, enter "PDB.SYSPROG.TMON.LMCICS.V22.VTCECNTL" in the DSNAME LEVEL field and clear the volume field. Do you see all three and are the last two on volume OPSPR2? If so, it is not a catalog or alias issue. Repeat the process and add OPSPR2 to the volume field. Do the last two show up? If not, what you have is a cluster without its components (as if the pack was reinitialized or restored from a full volume dump taken before the cluster was created). Repeat step 1. To the left of the cluster name type "LISTCAT ENT(/) ALL". (It is OK to overlap the name.) Does IDCAMS report any errors? Do both components show up? Once we have this information, we should be able to provide a working solution instead of everyone grasping at straws. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
