Correction(*): We hit this years ago. I even made calculations to monitor if we were approaching the limit and had to add another usercatalog. The limit is the size of aliases for a usercatalog in the Mastercatalog record. The sum of all values: 'alias length + 3 bytes' (*) is limited to about 32300 bytes. So this is about 3230 (*) TSO users.

IIRC it is a large number. I was thinking more about the SIZE of the catalog, not the number of aliases associated with the catalog. <snip> On Mon, 23 Jun 2014 19:51:26 +0000, Staller, Allan wrote: >I am not sure I can see the need (technically) for more than one TSO >ucat, presuming there is anything resembling a rational retention >policy. It depends upon how many TSO users you have. IIRC, there is a limit to the number of associations a user catalog can have. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
