Optional Parameters
- ALIAS
- specifies
that alias associations for the already connected user catalog are
to be retained.
The specification of ALIAS during an IMPORT CONNECT operation is intended for cases in which the volume serial information, or device type, or both, of the user catalog has changed since the DEFINE or previous IMPORT CONNECT operation. Specifying ALIAS results in an operation that is similar to an EXPORT DISCONNECT/IMPORT CONNECT sequence, except that any aliases that are of the user catalog are preserved.

- CATALOG(catname)
- specifies
the name of the catalog into which to define the catalog you are connecting.
This parameter is required when you want to direct the catalog's
entry to a particular catalog other than the master catalog. To specify catalog names for SMS-managed data sets, you must have authority from the RACF® STGADMIN.IGG.DIRCAT FACILITY class. See Storage Management Subsystem (SMS) Considerations for more information.
- catname
- is the name of the catalog or an ALIAS of the catalog into which to define the entry being imported. If you are import connecting a user catalog, the specified catalog is usually the master catalog.
Abbreviation: CAT
- VOLCATALOG
- specifies
that a volume catalog is to be connected.
