Hi All, 

We've had a minor issue a few times over the past year or so. On our GDPS 
control systems, we have a null SMS configuration - all datasets are allocated 
with UNIT=SYSALLDA (I think I'm explaining this right), otherwise you get 
SPECIFY DEVICE OR CANCEL.

The issue we seem to have hit is that people using XMIT/RECEIVE seem to 
allocate enormous datasets - one yesterday was 45K tracks, 1% used, which used 
up nearly all the free space on the volume, and caused another job to fail as 
it was unable to get the space it needed.

I vaguely remember reading somewhere about default space allocation being 
something along the lines of "whatever space remains on the volume". 

Does this ring any bells with anyone, or am I just dreaming it? Can these 
parameters be changed, and if so, where? I've been hunting but can't track it 
down.

Many thanks,

--
