Backup of SYSCTLG

CA Disk will back up OS CVOL catalogs (DSN=SYSCTLG), but you will probably need to specify sysparm ARCDSORG with a value of Y. This is because most SYSCTLG data sets have no DSORG indicated in the VTOC DSCB. Due to the embedded TTR values, SYSCTLG data sets must be restored to the same device type from which they were archived. (The Move function, described in MOVE/COPY, has the ability to move these data sets to different device types, updating the internal TTR pointers.)
