Well, I blew an entire 3390-3 trying to do a receive. Around here, DASD is again considered a "premium" resource. The new CIO firmly believes that we are just wasting space left and right and wants __strong__ justification for DASD. To the point were we may start getting Sx37 abends again due to lack of space.
