Sounds like a straight forward problem. I will read the thread today or tomorrow.

Then this is exactly what Guaranteed Space is intended for. <end snip> You may be right. But if use a storage class with Guaranteed Space = NO, only the 1st volume extent is ever allocated, and I get abend D37 when it fills up, even if I use a DATACLAS with Dynamic Volume Count = 5 and Space Constraint Relief = YES. Go figure ... How can I have extents (apart from the first) be allocated only when they are actually used, and preferably on different volumes ? This was the original question in the thread. Thanks for your input anyway. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
