Volume &SYSR1. and volume ****** are equivalent. HLQ &SYSR1.. is a whole different matter.
i.e. DEF NVSAM(NAME(datasetname) DEVT(3390) VOL(&SYSR1.)) and DEF NVSAM(NAME(datasetname) DEVT(3390) VOL(******)) Should resolve identically. The "advantage of &SYSR1 is that it is easily extensible to &SYSR2,.......

The last time I did this exercise (when rearranging an ADCD system) about 4-5 years ago I fell flat on my face when I catalogued the sysres data sets on the sysres I IPL'd from to use the qualifier &SYSR1.. The system didn't come up because it found just about nothing. After staring at the manual for a while, I read the manual that you *must* use ****** for all data sets on the sysres volume you use to IPL. Sure enough, once I had recatalogued everything from &SYSR1. to ******, the system came up. Has that changed in the meantime? Are &SYSR1. and ****** interchangeable?
