It is either MCAT and/or volser or bust. Simple. Even RACF is bypassed for linklist datasets during early stage of IPL. So you have to be certain your PARMLIB members AND Master Catalog are containing the right info. From RACF side, as documented in "Security Server RACF Security Administrator's Guide": <quote> "For example, when the program libraries defined in LNKLSTxx are opened during IPL, RACF protection is bypassed. A user can fetch any program stored in these libraries during IPL, but if the user attempts to open one of the libraries, RACF protection is enforced. " <end quote> So, as you said "-- Later in IPL, "normal" allocations are done for data set X", it is very true. I agree with you, get your catalogs in order before/during/after the SETPROG commands and what you said about COPYFROM. I would not be surprised if the OP made more errors on his system based on what was said in this thread, but then this topic is a very advanced topic only fit for very brave, but skilled sysprogs.
