What, IMO, would be nicer to implement your idea would be a SPACE parameter which is more a LIMIT type parameter. If we could do away with extent limits and volume count limits, then DASD allocation could be done more on a "on demand", cylinder at a time, philosophy. Kind of like how UNIX allocates DASD space, but with with some sort of "quota" to stop a looping program from using up all the space. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets® 9151 Boulevard 26 .
