Rob, The manual, "MVS Planning: Global Resource Serialization" SA23-1389-30 has information on sharing catalogs. SYSIGGV2 needs to use reserves. However, I think you also need to use reserves on SYSZVVDS and SYSVTOC. From memory (rather distant and not always reliable) there is also an IMS Qname that needs to be added to the list, but only if you use IMS.
As for your ISPF question, I am unclear of the situation you describe. Lennie Dymoke-Bradshaw | Security Lead | RSM Partners Ltd Web: www.rsmpartners.com ‘Dance like no one is watching.

What I can find is that sysiggv2 must be kept as a reserve to do so. Looking for others that have had to do this. One question I had was, what happens on a ispf 3.4 when the data set is part of the catalog but exists in another system? Ief238d?
