The last couple of posts in this thread have overlooked Andy Higgins's observation that &SYSR1--or any symbolic for that matter--cannot be used to catalog a data set in the PARMLIB concatenation. The reason is that symbolics are defined in PARMLIB members that themselves cannot be located and processed until NIP knows how to find PARMLIB data sets. It's a chicken-egg problem.
