Re: Image catalog - always ready

[Carl J Novit <CarlN@xxxxxxxxx>]

Vern is correct.
Just put this in the startup program.
LODIMGCLG IMGCLG(xxxxxxxxxx) DEV(TAPVRTXX)

This assumes you are loading a virtual tape.

This has been working for us for a long time.

Hi Jeff

I think that, because multiple image catalogs can be loaded, one at a 
time, to a virtual optical device, that it isn't a simple matter of 
saying a certain image catalog should be loaded - it'd be a combination 
of varying on a device and loading that image catalog.

For now, maybe the startup program is the ticket.

But this might be a nice candidate for a requirement - www.common.org - 
community option on the menu on top, etc.
