Hi

I want to alter a VSAM dataset by trying to catalog it from one catalog to another. But then I am facing this error

ALTER RESPACK.IODF53.CLUSTER -
NEWNAME(VISION.IODF53.CLUSTER) CATALOG(SYS1.MCAT.RESCAT)
IDC3012I ENTRY RESPACK.IODF53.CLUSTER NOT FOUND
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42
IDC0532I **ENTRY RESPACK.IODF53.CLUSTER NOT ALTERED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8

ALTER RESPACK.IODF53.DATA -
NEWNAME(VISION.IODF53.DATA) CATALOG(SYS1.MCAT.RESCAT)
IDC3012I ENTRY RESPACK.IODF53.DATA NOT FOUND
IDC3009I ** VSAM CATALOG RETURN CODE IS 8 - REASON CODE IS IGG0CLEG-42
IDC0532I **ENTRY RESPACK.IODF53.DATA NOT ALTERED
IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8

Can anyone please enlighten me on this error.

Thanks in advance

You have to get it into the catalog before renaming it....
Does EXPORT/IMPORT allow renaming?

Use REPRO MERGECAT of IDCAMS to move catalog entries but be sure the catalog structures (ALIAS entries, etc.) will allow the cluster to be found once it's in the new catalog.

I'm confused as to what you are trying to accomplish. Looks like you a trying to rename the vsam cluster and data component entries in a catalog and those entries aren't even in that catalog. But I see this statement 'I want to alter a VSAM dataset by trying to catalog it from one catalog to another' and that is confusing to me.

Are you trying to build an IODF file for a new system/lpar?

hi

I am trying to build an IODF file for a new LPAR.I am copying the contents of the existing IODF file using IDCAMS REPRO and then trying to catalog it into a new user catalog(this doesn't seem to be working out).This new user catalog will act as the master catalog for the new LPAR.

Your first example shows ALTER but now you say you're using REPRO??

1. On your current system, define an ALIAS for the new LPAR catalog of "VISION"
2. Create a new IODF named 'VISION.IODFxx.CLUSTER' and it goes to the new catalog
3. REPRO into it
4. Point your new LOADxx member to that IODF

If you can't do this, use my original suggestion to move the entry from one catalog to another.

Try using adrdssu to dump and restore and on the restore specify new catalog . Many sites use a HLQ of sys1 for the iodf as then you can reallocate it and then do a define cluster recatalog.
