We are systematically analyzing ASCA GIS data taken during the satelliteattitude maneuver operation. Our motivation is to search for serendipitous hardX-ray sources and make the ASCA Slew Survey catalog. During its operational life from 1993 February to 2000 July, ASCA carried outmore than 2,500 maneuver operations, and total exposure time during themaneuver was ~415 ksec after data screening. Preliminary results are brieflyreported.Comment: Proceedings for "X-ray surveys in the light of new observations", Santander (Spain), 2002 September. 1 pag
