Technically sounds good, except I don't think IEBGENR is the right tool for that job; I'd go with DFDSS. More, other users of the /u system might be a little annoyed :-)
I'd vote for setting up a separate file system with a mount point in /u to receive the large file. Do keep in mind that I can just barely spell UNIX and I did not sleep in a Holiday Inn last night. HTH and good luck. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pommier, Rex R.

Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 11:19 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Out of space uploading to a UNIX directory Be nice to novices. :) I tried FTP'ing a large file to directory /u/ on our z/OS system. This failed because there was not enough space. However, the DASD volume itself has plenty of free space. What needs to be done to allow more volume space to be allocated for directory /u/, a.k.a., dataset HFS.USERS? TIA.
