Re: Recataloging VSAM Dataset
Try one of these. The first is a standard dataset and the second is a linear dataset. //STEP01 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * DEFINE CLUSTER - (NAME(|) - VOLUMES(Z9CI32) - INDEXED RECATALOG) - DATA (NAME(|.DATA)) - INDEX (NAME(|.INDEX)) - CATALOG(XYZZY) DEFINE CLUSTER - (NAME(|) - VOLUMES(Z8DB82) - LINEAR RECATALOG) - INDEX - (NAME(XYZZY)) Regards, Kevin Kinney -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: Recataloging VSAM Dataset
I restored the dataset from a DFDSS full-volume backup. DFDSS won't allow a rename for a VSAM dataset coming from a full-volume backup and won't catalog the dataset when the catalog name from the backup didn't match the catalog I now have it's high-level alias pointing to. IDCAMS DEFINE with RECATALOG has the same issue. I did get over this when a coworker showed me a fixcat utility he has that lets me change the catalog the VVDS has recorded for the dataset. I changed it to the new catalog name and was able to use IDCAMS to catalog what I needed. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 1:03 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: Recataloging VSAM Dataset What was used to restore the dataset?

Re: Recataloging VSAM Dataset
Hi Kevin, VSAM doesn't function without being catalogued. How did you restore it? Have you tried an IDCAMS listcat for the cluster? Can I see your restore jcl?

Re: Recataloging VSAM Dataset
Has this dataset been recovered with a full volume restore? Is there a VVDS available on the output volume?
