I beg to differ. It is simple to try it, testing is a different matter. It is quite difficult to test the possible timing issues. I have issued UPDATE * many times on a sandbox system after activating a new LNKLST set, but it would be foolish to say that I have tested and found it to be safe. That said, perhaps I was too hasty in saying that it is not safe to be done. Without knowing how the PDS command (or whatever tool is to be used) accomplishes the task, I cannot say whether it might be safe to do. I do agree with the recommendation to either stop LLA or remove the data set in question from LLA management. If the tool first moves every member that is located on the track where the new directory block(s) are to be located, it is likely safe to do as long as LLA is not managing the data set. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
