I have never considered giving a single user his own ucat. You can create multiple ucats according to function. But like users should point to the same ucat. If you have a product that creates thousands of data sets for its own purposes, you might consider creating a ucat just for that product. But never for a personal userid.

CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL Well geez, now you tell me, after I have it all working. :-) I followed @John McKown's instructions: DEF ALIAS(NAME('NEWUSER') RELATE('name of existing user high level catalog')) 1. How would I decide whether to give the user his or her own catalog? I would guess I do *not* need one. There will be a handful of very specialized userids with zero or nearly zero long-term cataloged datasets. 2. What would the above command look like if NEWUS01 through NEWUS20 were all going to share the same user catalog?
