>Did you transport the catalog dump dataset with ftp? Yes. I started out just adrdssu dumping the catalog, then ftp'ing. After restore and import the catalog was broken. Putting terse between the dump and ftp fixed the problem.

This should be >documented with DFdss in my opinion. I believe that I later checked about the difference between the untersed dump and the tersed dump with regard to ftp. But I had already lost enough time trying to get things working, so I just blamed ftp. As for documentation - IBM does not document what doesn't work. It always reminds me of my IBM level2 days when I sat beside an IBM developer trying to figure out a problem. It turned out that the customer did something he should not have done, so the developer said "We don't document that you cannot wash dishes with a CPU!"
