There are functions other than OPEN/CLOSE that need to use the catalog. CATALOG/UNCATALOG and adding another volume to a data set, for example. Does CLOSE need to update the catalog? The VVDS, yes, but the BCS? >You can >not do any CI or CA splits either since the backup and reorg will be >out of sync with the updates. CA/CI splits of the catalog only occur when the catalog is updated. If you mean CA/CI splits of data sets defined in the catalog, that information is recorded in the VVDS, not in the BCS. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
