Re: CATALOG QUESTION - CORRECT AN ALIAS PROBLEM
I would simply change the ENTRIES line to say LEVEL, and then run this. Once you copy the entries, then you need to quickly define the alias. Here's a sample job I've run to move aliases that mistakenly made it into the master catalog: //MERGC1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=0M //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSINDD * REPRO INDATASET(CATALOG.MASTER.VCDCCP8) - OUTDATASET(CATALOG.USERCAT1) - LEVEL(CN00) - MERGECAT //*** //IDCAMS EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=4M //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * DEF ALIAS(NAME(CN00) REL(CATALOG.USERCAT1)) C.

Re: CATALOG QUESTION - CORRECT AN ALIAS PROBLEM
The best way to resolve this issue is to do the following: 1) Make sure the type of data set (VSAM vs. NON VSAM). If you have VSAM cataloged in the MCAT you will need to work a little harder. 2) Uncatalog all of the NON Vsam data sets in the Master Cat 3) Build the Alias for the HLQ 4) Recatalog all of the data sets. If you have vsam in the mcat, I would probably use a DFDSS DUMP with Delete for all of the files in the mcat, build the alias, then restore the files with catalog. I ususally have my MCAT with READ only access to prevent this type of issue.

Re: CATALOG QUESTION - CORRECT AN ALIAS PROBLEM
You would need to define the alias after moving the entries out of the master catalog. You will probably get an IDC3009I 8-8 duplicate entry (on the alias define) if you already have data sets residing in the master catalog that begin with the alias.

Re: CATALOG QUESTION - CORRECT AN ALIAS PROBLEM
From: esmie moo [EMAIL PROTECTED] My plan is to define the alias in the proper UCAT and then execute the following jcl. //STEP1EXEC PGM=IDCAMS,REGION=2048K,TIME=1440 //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSINDD * REPRO - INDATASET(SYS1.SHR.MCAT) - OUTDATASET(MBC.CSTMCAT) - ENTRIES(CTPRX23) - MERGECAT Esmie, I would first run the above job. However, code LVL(CTPRX23) instead of ENTRIES(CTPRX23). Once the above job runs fine, then define alias CTPRX23 related to MBC.CSTMCAT, which I assume is your user catalog.

Re: CATALOG QUESTION - CORRECT AN ALIAS PROBLEM
This is what I use when cleaning up Catalogs. This job will move the entries to the correct catalog without having to do any extra work. After you have them moved to the correct catalog define your alias and you will see the data sets. With this if you are just moving a few data sets it has no impact but if say you are moving 1,000 data sets you would want to scheduled that when there is very low usage. //REPROCAT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSINDD * REPRO - INDATASET(CATALOG.ABCZ14.MASTER ) - OUTDATASET(CATALOG.TSO.USER) LEVEL(TSOU01) MERGECAT /* Michael Saraco Systems Consultant From: esmie moo [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Date: 02/27/2008 07:34 AM Subject: CATALOG QUESTION - CORRECT AN ALIAS PROBLEM Good Morning Gentle Readers, I am working on a problem regarding a TSO alias which was not created but for some unexplicable reason I find about 15 dsns have been cataloged in the MCAT.
