Also SYS1 has the special attribute of DEFINE RECATALOG allowing the definition of the same dataset in 2 different catalogs (just like non-VSAMS datasdest). This only applies to datasets with the HLQ of SYS1. I meant to add that with the exception of SYS1, a VSAM dataset can only exist in 1 cat

You need to do an export of the system it is on and import it to the catalog that you want it to be in. Here is sample JCL: //IODF16DD DSN=SMULLER.IODF16,UNIT=SYSALLDA, // SPACE=(TRK,(14,1)),DISP=(,CATLG) //IODF DD DSN=SYS1.IODF16.CLUSTER,DISP=SHR //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN

Yes. Just put it on the RES volume and craft your load parameters accordingly. There is no mention of catalog requirements in the GA22-7525-12 HCD planning guide. The planning guide has a discussion on how the IPL parms, PARMLIB, and the IODF are located during IPL. Another way is to conne
