Hello,
All volumes are defined the same way, WLMPAV=YES.
Furthermore, some of these spare volumes were production volumes before we

That is not quite correct.
You can use double quotes or the apostrophe as long as they are paired.
If you start a literal with an apostrophe, you must end the literal with
an apostrophe.
If you start it with the double quote character, then you must end it

The point of my last reply is this: These datasets are NOT uncataloged. You
need to get that idea out of your head. This is a VSAM cluster that is indeed
