I sure there are a number of ways to do this but one way uses the pax command within unix.
Create a new HFS file for your SMPNTS and mount is somewhere. Then go into the the smpnts directory (cd /u/smpnts) and from there enter the following command: Pax -pe -rvwk . /destination_directory Destination_directory is your mount point for your larger smpnts file. When the command completes, unmount your current nts file and remount your new one at /u/smpnts and all of your old smpnts data is now in your new smpnts file system Stan ----------------------- Stan Weyman Corporate Information Services System Administrator III Amica Mutual Insurance Company 25 Amica Way Lincoln, RI 02865 voice: 1-800-992-6422 ext. 22679 fax: 1-401-334-2748 email : [EMAIL PROTECTED] web: www.amica.com P Please consider the environment before printing this email -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kurt Quackenbush Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2008 8:38 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: enlarging SMPNTS > The receive job abended because the HFS file that contains the SMPNTS > directory reached 123 extents. > > How can I enlarge the HFS file without losing all the data? > > Can I restart the job from where it abended, or do I have to rerun > the whole job? > The job abended after it finished downloading the files from the > remote server and was using PAX to expand them. I assume you're using the SMP/E RECEIVE FROMNETWORK command. If so, you can resubmit the job step in its entirety without change. SMP/E will detect all the files have already been downloaded and will not download them again. You should also look into SMPWKDIR. This DD statement or DDDEF entry identifies a work directory where SMP/E will expand the pax archive files. If you specify such a work directory which is separate from your SMPNTS directory, then you do not need to enlarge your SMPNTS.
