You specified (SYSDA,10) in your allocation. This means up to 4000 cylinders on the first volume and up to 1600 cylinders on each of up to 9 additional volumes.

My concern is not the number of extents used; it is the space allocated, the JCL space parameter is asking for 2500,100 cylinders of space for a total 4000 cylinders. What seems to have happened is the first volume was allocated the primary + 3 extents for 2800 cylinders; the second volume was allocated 16 extents of 100 cylinders for 1600 cylinders - rlse, the total being 4331 cylinders being allocated when only 4000 was requested. The file/volume are non-SMS and my question is WHY ISN'T THE JCL REQUEST BEING HONOURED? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
