That was my original thought as well but that wasn't the problem. When I first converted the CDS to disk, I wondered if I had to make the pre-allocated datasets large enough to hold the maximum size they would get but it appears that when the new disk backup is created, the allocation is dynamically created to the current size of the file. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
The actual problem was that the MCDS backup files had been migrated. I didn't want to post it so that I wouldn't impact the feedback I got but what I really want is to be able to confirm that REAS=0016 tells me exactly that and where I can find that documented. Thanks, Gil.
