Response from our ABS expert . . .

"I would not use any catalog that cannot be converted for any ABS new saves they plan to run.
Perhaps they might be useful for lookup purposes only.
I bet if the customer looked back at the logs, the ABS cleanup job was probably complaining about those catalogs."
