I believe these data sets have their DEVTYPE resolved to that of the IPL volume. I found some information related to indirectly cataloged datasets in the Tivoli Advanced Catalog Management for z/OS and it lists the devtype definitions: HTTP://PUBLIB.BOULDER.IBM.COM/TIVIDD/TD/ITACMZOS/SC23-7973- 00/EN_US/PDF/SC23-7973-00.PDF And I also found some information on some apars that deal with indirect datasets for z/OS 1.7 ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/software/websphere/awdtools/filemanager/fmv7apa r.pdf I don't know if any of this applies to your situation but hopefully you can get some related info out of this.
