Subject: Re: Catalog for OMVS datasets

I prefix dsn's with SYS1.OMVS.

Where the name is required to be unique, I append a LLQ. 

DFDSS logical copy with RENUNC works great to keep multiple copies if required.

You might want to look up "Chapter 5. Managing the z/OS UNIX File System"  in  
"z/OS UNIX System Services Planning"  (GA32-0884 for z/OS 2.1)

HTH,

How do you catalog your OMVS datasets?

My predecessor created a catalog in which he put a few OMVS dataset 
definitions. However, it never really got used. We only have a few dozen OMVS 
file systems so it doesn't seem to make sense to have a catalog just for them.

What is common practice? What do you do? Do you have a separate catalog for 
your OMVS datasets? If so, what's your reasoning?
