Thanks Ed. It also wasn't clear to me if Skip's dataset or catalog was on the FILE volume (or both) in his final solution. I do my best not to run into these types of situations. I try to keep everything cataloged in the scope of standard search. Except for SMP/E targets where the DDDEF specifies my current target volume which is doesn't change after the first unload of the Serverpac and are never referenced ourside of SMP/E except for the FDR copy to a new active SYSRES (and sometimes by me using the PDS tool if I need to expand them) But, I am much smaller than Skip and never have more than two levels running at any given time. All user and applications processing is confined to SMS pools. > > -- > Edward E Jaffe > Phoenix Software International, Inc > 831 Parkview Drive North > El Segundo, CA 90245 > http://www.phoenixsoftware.com/ > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > 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
