Re: reformat volume id

Only if you want to use the catalog to find the datasets later. And you should perform the uncatalog before the rename. The block command feature in ISPF 3.4 make both tasks very easy. If the volume is managed by SMS, you will need to convert it to unmanaged before the uncatalog and convert

Hi all We want to change a volume id from xx to yy using reformat command. Our question : After changing volume id, we online the volume. Because there are many datasets, do we need to uncatalog each dataset on the volume and then recatalog them? Thanks a lot! Jason Cai

Re: reformat volume id

Yes, and if they are vsam or complex vsam structures (AIX etc) it will be quite complicated. It is simples to create a volume with the new name and move the datasets to the new volume. The utility (DMS, DSS, FDR) will take care of the recatalog work. Grtn, Kees. > -Original Message- >

My recollection of CSRL16J is that it was something we provided for use on old machines where the Resume Program instruction did not exist. Mostly, but it will also do a "freemain" for you which can be useful. No, it does not allow invocation in AMODE 64. But that can hardly be important.
