Makes sense, and that was my configuration many years ago, I just altered the catalog entries for anything cataloged on

'&SYSR2' to '******'

most catalog solutions software can do this easily, I've done it by hand using IDCAMS, not so much fun.

Yes earlier we had two res volume and that's the reason why we had &SYSR1

So I will look into doing indirect cataloging later and for now I will load
with the new load address cloned and IPLtexted.

That sounds like your installation originally had two res volumes,
somebody meged them onto a single, larger, volume and nobody bothered to
clean up the catalog, instead changing the SYMDEF as a hack. That hack will
continue to work, but in the long run I'd advise bring your catalog in line
with your naming and placement policies.

As for Unix file systems (only zFS for 2.5), I'd advise having names using
symbolics derived from &SYSR1.

Subject: New alternate res pack clarification

Hello

Below is my IEASYMxx

SYMDEF(&SYSR2='&SYSR1')

I have created a alternate res pack with the name OSRESB and the currently
running is OSRESA.

Already RES volume dataset are indirectly cataloged.

With new RES I have done all the cloning plus IPLtext and getting root
volumes copied.

Is there is any work needs to be done to get the new RES volume recognized
as part of Symbolics ?

Peter
