I'm not up on the current method for handling SYSRES (sys1 datasets) in the master catalog. In the past, we would use VOLUME(******, &SYSRS2, &SYSRS3,...) to avoid switching master catalog when IPLing from a new SYSRES. If instead, you cataloged to a specific volume, the system would use the wrong dataset when IPLing from the new SYSRES. Have times changed and a new technique is being used? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
