We added PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) and PDSE_RESTARTABLE_AS(YES) as we rolled out z/OS 1.6. Why is it required? Ask IBM. I'm sure they will give you a good reason. :-) http://bama.ua.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0801&L=ibm-main&D=1&O=D&P=5480 BTW, since I have nothing better to do (NOT) during our year end change freeze, I did try IPLing a monoplex sandbox LPAR without PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) along with specifying PDSE_RESTARTABLE_AS(YES) and SMSPDSE1 was not created as documented. Doc from the fine manual: http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/IEA2E280/54.9?SHELF=IEA2BK80&DT=20070516223132 PDSE_RESTARTABLE_AS(YES|NO) Specifies whether PDSE initialization during IPL NIP processing brings up a second restartable PDSE address space. If you specify PDSE_RESTARTABLE_AS(YES), with PDSESHARING(EXTENDED), and EXTENDED sharing is not used, processing does not allow PDSE initialization to create a second restartable PDSE address space. The PDSE_RESTARTABLE_AS specification is set in the IGDSMSxx member of SYS1.PARMLIB.
