Question: Looking for example of a restore on a catalog and its aliases? Answer: Here is an example of a restore for one catalog and its aliases: //RESTORE JOB //STEP EXEC PGM=CREWS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //RESTORE DD DSN=BACKUP.CATALOGS(-1),DISP=OLD //SYSIN DD * RESTORE ALIAS CAT(CATALOG.MVSICF1.VSYSC06) Sorry for the File Insert.

Any product I have seen that does CATALOG has support for your functions. That includes TREX and Catalog Recovery Plus So, a quick search on the CA Website provided Question: Looking for example of a restore on a catalog and its aliases?

Here I do not use IDCAMS but I use CA CREW for catalog Resize. So for other system I have to perform a Redefine of aliases and Yes in our plex we have master catalog defined for each system and Usercatalogs are shared across the system. So for defining an alias I must be generating a IDCAMS control card using where I mention like : DEF ALIAS(NAME('ALIASNAME') REL('USERCATALOG) , so if I run this JCL on each system then the mastercatalog parameter is not required. So Just looking for a rexx exec which can extract the list from a PS file(where only alias name is present) and prepare a control card for IDCAMS.
