All of IBM's products? Or just some of them? For example, my SYS1.HRF* are in MCAT and CEE.*, IGY.* and similar also. > thanks Elardus for your confirmation regarding SMS. It was my big pleasure.

So we took the joke literaly to make the shared across the SysPlex these dataset SYS0.IPLPARM and SYS0.PARMLIB and friends. Ok, granted, they are in MCAT, not what you desired. Anyways, we are heros, not zeros. ;-) I will ask my colleagues why or why not about that IODF volser... Hmmm, you got my attention. >* SYS2.IODFnn will be found by NIP iff it's on the IODF volume (catalog >search is not utilized) Our IODF* (VSAM) are in UCAT. I need to check on what volsers are they. I will come back to you. >* SYS2.PARMLIB et al will be found by NIP via the PARMLIB statements in LOADnn >(catalog search is not utilized) >! The above datasets would be catalogued in the SYS2.** UCAT to accommodate >references after master scheduler initialization. I would really like to see how your IPL is going. Especially with the resolving of symbolic variables. >I intend to build a test z/OS image to test my beliefs. If you are allowed, please be kind to tell us the results, be it *good*, *bad* or *ugly*. ;-D >John and Elardus, your inputs were extremely helpful and I thank you both. You're most welcome. I believe, your thank you will give you lots of help in the future. Good luck and all of the very best for you and your efforts.
