Thanks John. Confirmation is always a confidence booster. My job worked without the equivalent LIHTS1 DD.

But I take it you want to simply recatalog an existing page data set into a new master catalog. Thanks to DFSMS, it is now possible to catalog a PAGESPACE in multiple master catalogs. Just use the RECATALOG parameter. //STEP010 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //LIHTS1 DD DISP=OLD,UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=SER=LIHTS1 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * DEF PAGESPACE(NAME( page-space.dsn ) - VOLUME( volser ) - RECATALOG ) CAT( new.master.catalog ) -- Schrodinger's backup: The condition of any backup is unknown until a restore is attempted.
