Good news. :-) > >Walter Marguccio >z/OS Systems Programmer >BELENUS LOB Informatic GmbH >Munich - Germany I know I can look at RMF reports to see what sizes are going where and how many. My question is: How do you know what percentage of the default class messages are GRS (although I would suspect they all fit in the 1K class)? What if all the big ones were GRS (relative to this current discussion on GRS ring)? The only way you could tell is if you set up a transport class(s) just for GRS, which hasn't been recommended in a long time.
