In the past, in my case, the Storage Admin needed a high level manager with a brain (or a backbone). I literally would get calls in the early morning about space abends in production (Production!). My only recourse was to logon to TSO, go into ISMF, find all datasets older than 3 days, sort them by space allocated and HSM migrate some to TAPE! I could not get any more DASD because the array was full. We did not have the money to get another or newer array. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
