I will concur that SYS1 could mean IPL volume. But I have many SYS1 datasets that are off the IPL volume and I use &SYSRx to get to them. The convention I use is, if it is required to IPL the system it is on the main SYSRES volume and VOL(******) is used. If it is not required, then it is place on a SYSRES volume (not primary) and the &SYSRx is used.
So I could have a SYSRES set consisting of 5 volumes. Only the datasets on the first volume get the VOL(******) the rest get the &SYSR. However, if IBM has altered the meaning of VOL(******) then I will update my notes.

True but the OP gave SYS1 and as an example which to me implies IPL volume. Your &SYSRx symbolic would work for other volumes. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, October 07, 2013 8:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Multiple datasets with same name on APF list ! I thought the VOL('******') was only valid for datasets residing on the IPL Volume. If the files were off of the sysres you would need to use something like &SYSR1 or other symbolic. And I think the latter is what the OP is working towards.

So then use indirect catalog addressing in the catalog and APF list, VOLUME(******) . -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of baby eklavya Sent: Saturday, October 05, 2013 4:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Multiple datasets with same name on APF list ! That's correct .. We are planning to have different master catalog for each LPAR , and use the SYS1 datasets with same name (but on different volumes) and wanted to share the same APF list .
