... I brought this up almost a year ago, and I was told I didn't know what I was talking about. Earlier in my career, I did an analysis that determined that one-track datasets weren't worth the resources to migrate them. A few years later, I discerned that 1-cylinder ones weren't worth it, with the cost of DAS dropping. I mentioned it here, and was told that I was full of something. But, it's not truly worth migrating data these days, unless you cannot expand your DASD farm (for whatever reason) and space becomes an operational, rather than a cost, constraint. -teD In God we Trust!
