I was able to rectify the problem by using the MERGECAT option since there was only 1 dsn for that specific ALIAS.
I got a rude shock to find out that STEPCAT DD is no longer allowed. Ouch. Has anybody been able to use STEPCAT? -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/13/14, willie bunter <0000001409bd2345-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: Subject: Re: DFDSS QUESTION - SEMI URGENT To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Received: Friday, June 13, 2014, 8:07 AM When I do the LISTCAT it doesn' find the dsn. I am not sure how the dsn was cataloged in the wrong catalog. The user asked for my help. If I need to ALTER the dsn to use the right catalog is there a STEPCAT parm that needs to be used? -------------------------------------------- On Fri, 6/13/14, Lizette Koehler <stars...@mindspring.com> wrote: Subject: Re: DFDSS QUESTION - SEMI URGENT To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Received: Friday, June 13, 2014, 7:49 AM Please Provide a LISTC ENT(/) ALL of the vsam dataset Also, which catalog should it be in? It is really hard (in my opinion) to catalog VSAM in the wrong Catalog unless you were not working from the target system. Did you do an ALTER NEWNAME function to do this?
