Subject:      Two format libraries?

Hi all:
 
I am a fairly new user, so forgive the question if it is an obvious one...
 
I am merging two datasets that were created with the formats permanently
associated (i.e. using attrib statements).  Therefore, I cannot do much of
anything with either one without pointing to the formats catalog for each
(with a library libname).  Obviously, however, I can only name one libname
library.  What I have been doing up to this point is pointing to the
formats catalog for one of them with libname library, and simply adding an
%include statement that runs the formats program for the other dataset.
Is there a better way to handle this? Thanks.
