Subject: IDCAMS QUESTION - RECATALOG

Good Day,

Can you spot my error.  I am trying to define the VVDS to a specif USERCAT.  Is 
the RECATALOG option allowed?

DEF NVSAM                     -                                     
     (NAME(SYS1.VVDS.VPROM56)  -                                      
       DEVT(3390)                    -                                
       VOL(PROM56)) -                                                 
       CATALOG(SYS1.ICFCAT.SYSPRM) -                                  
       RECATALOG
