Plus there's a good chance the VTOC and VTOCIX are cached (I hope you are all using VTOCIX). We prevent the catalog search of generic HLQ with the sample provided exit because it can drive the CATALOG asid to use high CPU for a long period of time but have found no performance problems caused by letting people use the generic volser since it affects only 1 volume at a time.
