There are definitely crucial details lost. Page and swap are special datasets. For instance, a page dataset can be in multiple catalogs (I think using recatalog). Only page datasets specified in PARMLIB must be in the master catalog. Without details, we're only guessing how it's being used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
