- VVDSs are cataloged in the ICF catalogs which have (or had) objects on
- the VVDS's volume. So that I have control over VVDS placement (I put
- them all next to the vtoc, along with the vtoc index), I always
- define them myself when initializing a volume. I have a clist to do
- it. The clist does a define, then a define recatalog to get it into
- the master catalog. Any non-master catalog vsam objects will cause
- catalog entries for VVDSs in other catalogs. A VVDS is an exception
- to IBM's rule that vsam objects can only be cataloged in a single
- catalog.
