IMHO a master catalog requirement is a show stopper. To me that says that LNKLSTxx is not a viable option.
FWIW, I wouldn't have spent the resources to enhance LNKLSTxx either. ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> on behalf of Radoslaw Skorupka <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, November 5, 2021 10:51 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Volume allocated to *MASTER* Last 20+ years LNKLST can be defined using PROGxx members. Old documentation say " Instead of using LNKLSTxx to specify the LNKLST concatenation, consider using PROGxx. " - that's what I read in 1999 (in the times of OS/390). And some PDSE libraries on the LNKLST are really obvious, example: SYS1.SIEALNKE. However if anyone insist to use LNKLSTxx member then voila: "When cataloged in the master catalog, LNKLSTdatasets can be either PDSs or PDSEs." - this is OS/390 documentation, 90's. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland W dniu 05.11.2021 o 14:47, Seymour J Metz pisze: > Are you saying that LNKLSTxx can now specify a PDSE?
