Hi Amerigo, Thanks for the link to the white paper and you're about finding the article interesting. I will go back to vendor, Infomatica, and provide him with the link to the white paper to see what he says.
Once again thanks Amerigo!

I did make a small mistake, but nothing that was not correctable. Thanks to all the members from the list that assisted and provided the support (you guys are really GREAT!). I think I'm going to make a pitch for one of the catalog recovery products that some of you have suggested. I'll look for any additional responses for products. BTW, one list member, Larry Crilley, mention "creeping key" and I was wondering if anyone else has heard about this. When I contacted the vendor of the software that creates the dataset he did not know anything about the problem. Any and all help is appreciated. Once again thanks for all the assistance...

(last I knew) is also a very good catalog mgmt tool. Very extensive ISPF interface; tons of online help, etc. The developers are also *very* willing to provide desired features/functions, as requested. All the best, Scott T.
