In short-speak, yes. A user can use his own catalog rather than the master catalog, howbeit via the MCAT's then containing an entry pointing at the user's logon ID as an hlq (or similar) in the user's UCAT. Anything can be done with a bit of frigging around. But the question is, why and is it worth it? BTW Yes, I agree that all system changes should always be done in batch and not 'interactively'. Just my ha'penny.
