Frank, You might want to look up the SPHERE parameter.

For example... //COPY1 JOB CLASS=A,MSGCLASS=X,NOTIFY=&SYSUID //STEP01 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=4080K //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * COPY DATASET( - INCLUDE(DRDMVS.PROD.DEMAND.DMDMTC, - DRDMVS.PROD.DDASAV.CRMEMO) - ) - RENAMEU( - (DRDMVS.PROD.**, FJS.TEST.**) - ) - REPLACEU /* This will copy the two files in the INCLUDE clause, renamed with FJS.TEST as the first two nodes, defining the files if they do not already exist. This works fine for just a regular VSAM cluster. It works even for those defined NOREUSE. In other words, there is no need to delete the cluster before copying to it (which is my goal). I am having a problem doing it with a CLUSTER that has an AIX. ADR439E (001)-PREVS(07), A PREALLOCATED DATA SET WITH NEW NAME DRDMVS.CVSC.CVSPAF WAS FOUND FOR DATA SET PROD.CVSC.CVSPAF BUT WAS UNUSABLE, 08 Where "08 An alternate index (AIX) is defined over the preallocated cluster." So what am I to do? The only thing I've been able to do is delete the entire cluster (including AIX and PATH) before I restore the cluster, and then redefine the AIX and PATH afterward. Pain in the neck! Do I have an alternative that I have missed?
