Watching used space of a PDS:
Back in a previous engagement I was a rather mediocre and patently
lazy sysprog. When a PDS ran out of space it was my clue that the
original allocation was too small. Solution, make it bigger!
That is only the solution when the PDS is running out of space due to
constant updates (where members are being updated replacing the older
versions) not additions of new members. The correct solution to this
problem is to either switch to a PDSE or compress more often. Note
that since you have to get exclusive access to the PDS to reallocate
it, doing a DISP=OLD for the compress has the same exclusive access
requirement.
