- Interesting. I'm glad I tested this before replying. I was going to
- claim that this was incorrect, but now I think that MVS is just
- broken. I got interesting results from the tests. In both batch and
- TSO, with or without a SPACE specification, it cataloged the dataset
- WITHOUT CREATING IT when MOD,CATLG was used for a non-existant dataset
- and a specific volume was coded.
