You might be right about when STEPCAT/JOBCAT were removed completely, but they were never allowed with SMS managed data sets. The following is from MVS/DFP 3.3: Managing Catalogs, Document Number SC26-4555-02, dated December 1991. IIRC it wasn't new then. <quote> If you are running the Storage Management Subsystem (SMS), you should not use the JOBCAT and STEPCAT DD statements. If a job contains a JOBCAT or STEPCAT DD statement, the first step in the job which refers to an SMS-managed data set fails, and all following steps in that job are bypassed. The job terminates. </quote> -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
