It won't work if you've clipped the volume to another name. Which is what this thread has been about. There is an exception to the catalog being the same: If the HLQ is SYS1 or PAGE you can DEFINE RECATALOG to a different catalog. >Everything else is noise. > What is that comment supposed to mean? Ted, don't take this the wrong way, but you seem to post a lot of misinformation based on your memory (or lack of) or something you did a long time ago that is just not correct. You always apologize for your mistakes, but it doesn't benefit the readers nor the archives when questions that have "correct" responses (as opposed to opinion / general discussion) get answers that could lead someone down the wrong path. If you really aren't sure or can't remember, maybe it would be better to wait a while before responding to see what someone else may have to write.
