Changing SIZE, no. Changing CISIZE, yes. I don't think setting SMF
NOACTIVE works for the latter case either. Why? Because IBM says so. :-)
If only changing the size, just create / swap in and out SMFPRMxx members.
1) switch SMF
2) dump dsn you switched from (and any other ones that are full)
3) activate new member without the dsn(s) you want to delete / define (not
including the one just switched to in #1)
4) delete / define / format new dsn(s)
5) activate new member with dsn(s) you want active.
Repeat the process to get the last dsn (the one you switched to in #1).
If you just delete / define and not format in #4, SMF will format it when
you do the SET SMF=xx command to activate the member.
