For starters, how do you expect to rename an uncataloged VSAM dataset? >>> Ted MacNEIL <eamacn...@yahoo.ca> 2/12/2009 4:55 PM >>> Prove me wrong. Copy a VSAM dataset. Uncatalogue it. Copy to a new pack, and a new high-level! Tell me I can't re-catalogue it. Something to show it can't be done.
Show me where, if the catalogue or the dsn is different, is not able to be done. I've done the following: Uncatalogue VSAM Undefine its high level Redefine the high level Recatalogue Many times. What is the problem? An ICF catalogue only points to a dsn and a volume. A VSAM dataset does not need to be redefined just because you cloned the volume. Of course, it needs a different HLQ. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! -----Original Message----- From: Ted MacNEIL <eamacn...@yahoo.ca> Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2009 21:46:13 To: <IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu> Subject: Re: Renaming z/OS packs I don't understand your comment. You can/i have renamed/moved VSAM datasets withouit touching the catalogue. The descriptors are in the VTOC/VVDS/VTOCIX. Why do I need to use the catalogue? I've done it.
