That would be an arduous effort. DFSMSdfp Development was kind enough to make this less ardous for those who can wait for z/OS V2.1; from the announcement letter: "Also, new support enables you to preserve user catalog connector alias entries when you temporarily delete a user catalog so they need not be redefined when the catalog is reallocated, and prevent new catalog entries using those aliases from being defined until the new catalog is available. This is intended to simplify the reallocation of user catalogs." -- John Eells z/OS Technical Marketing IBM Poughkeepsie [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
