Hi all,

I am trying to define an alternate index for a vsam (after defining the cluster) but the IDCAMS step is giving an error, i have pasted all the messages below.

Thanks in advance! PAV

Just a SWAG, without actually looking it up, but I don't recall specifying the index of the base cluster in defining an AIX....
the Fine Manuel:
IDC3022I INVALID RELATED OBJECT
Explanation: The object specified in the RELATE parameter of a DEFINE command does not exist or is improper for the type of object being defined. See the associated second-level message for the specific catalog management error code values.
You might want to re-visit the manual for the exact syntax of the DEFINE AIX.....

From DFSMS Access Method Services for Catalogs:

"When you create a reusable cluster, you cannot build an alternate index to support it."

In other words, the REUSE parameter in the DEFINE CLUSTER does not allow you to use an AIX for this cluster.
Try again after removing it.

Good call....

I just found the link points to the table of contents. The REUSE option and the quoted sentence are in the "Optional Parameters" of the DEFINE CLUSTER chapter (here).
