OTOH you could wait until the master file fills up completely. A cheap--if not easy--way to find out if your pager still works. I know because this has happened to us a couple of times recently. How smart are we?
As for synching RMM to ICF catalog(s). some installations like ours actually don't want that because long before RMM came on the scene, our old tms managed tape data sets regardless of catalog. It's a business practice I would not vociferously defend, but neither would I want to defend the castle against an army of revolting peasants. That's just how they roll. . .

This difference in catalog status is only a problem if you are retaining them by catalog in rmm. In all other cases, when the data expires and volume is returned to scratch the difference should be resolved. (depends on UNCATALOG parmlib option) To make rmm match the catalog you need to run CATSYNCH - this can be either done manually with EDGHSKP, or, use EDGUTIL to reset the CATSYNCH state to NO so rmm EDGHSKP automatically includes CATSYNCH next time it is run (The latter requires parmlib option CATSYSID(*) to be in use. 2. EDGHSKP requires rmm to be active. The only reasons to quiesce or stop rmm are: i) EDGBKUP with BACKUP(REORG), and ii) EDGBKUP RESTORE to the active CDS. 3. My thoughts about CDS percentage used are documented here http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/dgt2c8a0/17.7?SHELF=all13be9&DT=20110609111302 The answer to your question is 'it depends'! If you follow the recommendations I made in the rmm I&C Guide, including sufficient secondary space etc.. neither reorg nor percentage full are an issue until you run out of space in VSAM limits or available DASD space. Consider this - how much space in MB is 10% of your CDS? ..... How many data sets/volumes might fit in that space? ... are you growing in number of volumes/data sets .... Reaching an limits?
