Hi, We do already use indirect cataloging, but we do want VSAM (and also the catalog) on the volume itself, and don't want to change our whole longstanding set-up because DFDSS can't cope with PDSE satisfactorily. Copying the PDSEs first does seem a less intrusive way to handle IBM's problem.
Best regards, David Tidy Tel:(31)115-67-1745 IS Technical Management/SAP-Mf Fax:(31)115-67-1762 Dow Benelux B.V. Mailto:dt...@dow.com The obvious thing to do is to use indirect cataloging and to keep VSAM off of the residence volumes. That requires, of course, a naming convention that ties off-res target libraries to the right residence volume set. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
