MCAT Command
Use the MCAT command to catalog an active version of a dataset as an active
version of one or more additional datasets. The volumes of a multi-cataloged
version are eligible for scratch only when all of the multi-cataloged versions
are scratched.
Note:
• Only single file volumes may be cataloged in this fashion.
• MCAT and MCATAL cannot be used with multifile datasets including AMF
and unchained datasets (STACK=).
The MCAT and MCATAL commands perform the same function, but MCAT is the
preferred command. The MCATAL command allows for easier conversion from
CA EPAT.
The format of the command is shown below.
MCAT FROMDSN='dsn' TODSN='dsn' [FROMVERS=nnn ]
[TOVERS=nnn ]
[PASSWORD='password']
MCATAL FROMDSN=dsname {.(0)|.gen },TODSN=dsname {.(0)|.rgen }
[PASSWORD='password']
FROMDSN=
TODSN=
FROMVERS=
TOVERS=
