It's supposed to give you a working system. My IKJTSOxx members have comments in them. These are the ones that say "TSO" RECEIVE /* TSO COMMANDS */ + TRANSMIT XMIT /* TSO */ + LISTB LISTBC /* TSO */ + LISTD LISTDS /* TSO */ + PARMLIB IKJPRMLB /* TSO */ + VLFNOTE COFMNOTE /* TSO */ + SE SEND /* TSO */ + RACONVRT /* TSO */ + SYNC /* TSO */ + DEF DEFINE /* TSO DEFINE */ + DEL DELETE /* TSO DELETE */ + TEST /* TSO TEST */ + So did you have access to the other system's MCAT? Couldn't you import / connect it as a usercat, define an ALIAS to it (or SSA if you wish) and do the define, then alter the name (or not alter the name). If you called it FRED.LOCAL1 and never renamed it, PA (PAGEADD) doesn't care about the name does it?
