Yes, you are both correct. The serious warning messages, some in red, just scared the heck outta me. Now I have iebcopied the full datasets to larger ones and done the renames manually with ispf being sure to only affect the inactive resvol that is the target for my maint. Now the target pack is full. In other shops we always had a pair of resvols for each environment, sandbox, development(test) and prod. Sometimes even a pair for QA. Here they had a single resvol for each of 3 environments (only 2 a couple months ago) but I am afraid that will not be big enough and we will have to go to 2. The dddefs are using (******) for the volser so it will reference the ipl device after ipl but what if we have 2 resvols? I vaguely remember using &sysrs1 and &sysrs2, but was that in the dddef or in the master catalog?

But the catalog entry 'currently' points to the dataset on the 'live' volume. The define / rename activity should be performed with the 'inactive' volume explicitly specified so only the VTOC is updated. -jc- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
