It is a strange arrangement where you must get client approval to defrag the pack (which is essentially invisible to the client) but need no approval to migrate to ML2 which will cause restores to take considerably longer (which should inconvenience the client significantly more).

As you suggested the DEFRAG or the FREEVOL I would like to use the FREEVOL because to DEFRAG the volume I will need to get the client's authorization plus pass through more red tape. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
