Just to keep as a point...A Catalog, by definition (on MVS) is a collection of all data set indexes that are used by the control program to locate a volume containing a specific data set -- so for which entry is found there that is cataloged else un-cataloged.

Hi Yogi,

Let me re-phrase your ques: "What is the difference between a cataloged file and an uncataloged file?"

You can reference a cataloged file without using the serail# of the volume on which it resides; you MUST use the serial# to reference an uncataloged file.

Addendum - I used "device": I should have used "volume". The original text has been changed. My apologies.
