Ken, The question is: For these OMVS datasets, are they HFS or ZFS?
I'm guessing that that these OMVS datasets are ZFS(Linear VSAM). Because of that, you cannot indirectly catalog them like you could with HFS datasets. The most common ROT is to include a qualifier in the OMVS DSN that includes the SYSRES that they are associated with to make them SYSRES unique, so you don't step on the catalog entries for your currently active datasets. Then in your cloning job(assuming you are clipping the same VOLUME that the OMVS datasets live on), you will want to do a IDCAMS DELETE NOSCR on those OMVS catalog entries. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB1G p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.8497 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Klein, Kenneth Sent: Wednesday, June 24, 2009 7:52 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Veteran sysprog asks dumb question OK, after 25 years as a sysprog this should not confuse me, but... A previous systems programmer left these canned jobs to clone a res pack to a new one for maintenance purposes. Simple right? I run the first job, vary off, init, varyon, ipltext, setcache, etc and then the copy step fails.
