Peggy, We do exactly what you want to do. We have a high level qualifier of VSAM which is an alias to a user cat. All of our root directories (4 LPARs) begin with VSAM.ZFS.....

Rather than use SYS1 HLQ for zFS (VSAM linear) and deal with recatalog to a new Master catalog, can I make my zFS OMVS files a SYS2 (user catalog) like such: SYS2.OMVS.ROOT SYS2.OMVS.ETC SYS2.OMVS.VAR Thanks!
