The third vendor (NOT DINO or the other) sorry I wasn't clear on that.
Using undocumented fields in the catalog is just plain inexcusable
(IMO). Reserved fields are just that NO one is supposed to use them
except IBM (IMO).

Did you mean that you got burned by the other one (not Dino-Soft)
or another (3rd) vendor?
Thanks,

the vendor agreed to disagree on the peculiarity (use of undocumented
fields) in the catalog. I got caught in the middle as I raised the
flag. IMO the vendor was at fault but its water under the bridge. I
will never use the other vendor again as a result (although its a
great vendor) I do not like getting burned.

In the spirit of evenhandedness, faster mergecat is one of the
good reasons to acquire T-Rexx from Dinosoft, or the other one :)

If you have a lot of VSAM, probably not. As I recall, doing a large
repro mergecat with a lot of VSAM was very slow, but it was mostly
due to the need to go change every vvds entry.
In other words, I don't think you'll get a lot of bang for your
buck.
