Radoslaw, unfortunately, there is no chance to set up a shared catalog. No way the ICF-folks are going to allow that.
I guess I'll just have to keep on copying this cluster around... Thanks anyway, Abe. === -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of R.S.

AFAIK, it is impossible for VSAM clusters *except* those with HLQ SYS1 or PAGE. IMHO it is not good idea to do it. I'd suggest to create small, dedicated user catalog and share it. -- Radoslaw Skorupka Lodz, Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
