I prefer to have the ISV datasets in LINKLST statements in PROGxx
cataloged in the master catalog and not use volume references. My
co-worker doesn't think it as a big deal and usually uses a load library
cataloged in the ISV usercat and a volume reference.
Am I just being anal (I really don't like volume references in parm
members anywhere I can avoid them), or is the a legitimate concern that
would support either position?
We place such datasets on Non-SMS volumes shared between the four LPARS.
We do not share master catalogs or in most cases user catalogs.

Dave, I'm partial to the PROGxx method. Makes it far easier to fall back
if a serious problem is discovered at lunchtime, instead of an IPL. And
by sticking to a single source, there's less chance of a mistake in
library ordering, etc. YMMV
(I switched to the PROGxx mechanism as soon as it was available and
never looked back! Saved my b*tt several times.)
