Slight (or major) correction Kirk - datasets cataloged in the master catalog return correctly. Any dataset in any user catalog is "not found".
I can, for example, find the SYS1.CPU1.VTAMLST dataset that is cataloged in the master catalog CATALOG.VMVSMCA but I cannot find CCITS.DATACOM.R12.MSG015 in catalog CATALOG.VSYS023 or PH.PROD.PR731P.RW.P0703.FILE08 in catalog CATALOG.VDSK204 or any other dataset cataloged in any user catalog.
