Dataset Catlogd field in CA 1 Volumes Object

Products

• Vantage Storage Resource Manager

Issue/Introduction

In the CA 1 Volumes object field Dataset Catlogd is set to Y although the data set is no longer cataloged and scratch.
Should this not be set to N in this case?

Environment

Release:
Component: VANT

Resolution

The field "Dataset Catlogd" does not represent the current catalog status. 
It just says, that the data set was cataloged. 
The current catalog status is represented by field "File On OS Cat"
