Caveat: daily digestion causes response delays... Charles: I'm gonna go back over some territory to make sure I understand the *original* purpose. I *believe* you simply want a multi-volume dataset for SMF17 (Scratch/delete) work in the simplest manner possible. It can be SMS or no, can be any dsOrg, & doesn't require large space. (or any records, even) All good so far?
Presuming a yes, I point out that PS files (not EXT) max@16 extents/volume. Given that, combine IEBDG (I dropped the suggesting author, sorry), [1] with Tom's SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),UNIT=(SYSALLDA,5) or an SMS DataClas that has VolCount/DynVolCnt>1. You should get 16 tracks on each volume until x37 for volume count. I'd even go with LRECL>29k (0.5 track length) to get 16 records per volume. The creating job should take more time to start/stop than output the necessary bytes. [1] You could probably IDCAMS PRINT something simple as well if you use the large record size. --------> signature = 8 lines follows <-------- Neil Duffee, Joe Sysprog, uOttawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uOttawa.ca/ ~nduffee "How *do* you plan for something like that?"
