And a good thing you did that. I just found another DLIB data set that isn't found in the standard search order. I went to the 'total view' (the display catalog option is on by default) and found the catalog this stuff is in. I guess I always assumed that any data set only identified using the dsname would be found in the standard search order. This is apparently a wrong assumption. I am hoping that my catalog command for the other data set didn't harm anything. On the other hand, this catalog (USERCAT.Z113.PRODS) contains a lot of the same data sets as the master catalog. It appears to be connected, otherwise the alias pointing to it would not show me any data sets (if there is an alias at all). Time to go and read up on non-standard search order. :-( Thanks, Barbara ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
