It looks like most of the datasets the system is complaining about are in their own user catalogs. I should be able to connect the user catalog to the master catalog on the zOS 1.13 side and be ok. Tho there is one that is cataloged in the z2.1's master catalog. I may have to just

To the best of my knowledge, whether rightly or wrongly, neither the LCT nor the SCTX has ever been considered a programming interface. GUPI and PSPI are no longer differentiated (although they're still valid and you'll see them in many macros); PI is the new term. DMTI has morphed into NOTPI.

Vis-à-vis fragmentation, I was once tasked with finding the 'largest chunk of free storage' in order to order to set region limit in IEFUSI. I no longer have the code, but I believe I used VSMLIST to scan through available chunks to locate the biggest one. This may be overkill for your needs,

This is *not* a counter-example to Mark's point that the 'building LPAR' should make no difference but an observation that in 'bronzeplex', some things work differently from a gold?/platinum? plex. Our bronzeplex is truly a parallel sysplex that meets all IBM requirements for you-know-what.
