Catalog Actions

Only one of the following three catalog parameters (RECATALOG, UNCATALOG, or NOCATALOG) should be specified on any given command. However, if multiple parameters are entered, RECATALOG supersedes UNCATALOG and UNCATALOG supersedes NOCATALOG

RECATALOG causes the data set to be recataloged to the pseudo-volume after it has been archived.

The default value is UNCATALOG. The presence of this parameter causes non-VSAM data sets to be uncataloged after they have been archived successfully.

For VSAM clusters, this UNCATALOG parameter has no effect, use the SCRATCH parameter instead.

NOCATALOG causes non-VSAM data sets to be left cataloged after they have been archived successfully. If you specify this NOCATALOG parameter, you probably want to specify NOSCRATCH as well.

For VSAM clusters, this NOCATALOG parameter has no effect, use the NOSCRATCH parameter instead.
