It sounds like EOS is having trouble with a device value (such as cylinder or number of tracks) being "too large". When the index files are allocated, do they go near the front of the volume (low cylinder numbers)? Is the data the index files "point to" also allocated on low cylinders? When EOS runs, are any of its datasets, including temporary ones, allocated near the back of the volumes?

For DASD, we have an IBM 8100 defined with a mix of mod-3's, mod-9's, & mod-27's. Recently I've been converting my SMS storage groups from mod-3's to mod-27's. This past Tuesday, I put several mod-27's into the pool which contains the report index files for EOS (among a lot of other applications data). On Tuesday a new index was allocated and went to one of the mod-27's. The product then has a subtak abend. The systems programmer ran the error messages by the vendor who says the product is having problems accessing the dataset and wants to know what changed. I take a look at the previously existing datasets and the new dataset and the only thing I can find that is different is that the new dataset is on a mod-27. So I disnew'ed the mod-27's, we deleted the dataset, reallocated same on a mod-3, and the product works. I added the mod-27's back in, the dataset is deleted and re-allocated on a mod-27 - and fails again. So right now I've disnew'ed the mod-27's and the product is running successfully on mod-3's. We've got an issue open with RSD & I plan on opening one with IBM, but I thought I'd ask this most august group if anyone else run into any products that have had any issues accessing datasets on mod-27's? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
