One problem with anything other than doing a "normal compress" is that the dataset is likely already open by VTAM or whatever. That means that the DEB is already created and the extents "set in stone". If a member is then added to a new extent, that member cannot be read by anything which already has the dataset open because it gets an I/O error (outside dataset extents). Been there, done that, got the abend. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
