Things to consider SQA can expand into CSA but not the other way around. You need enough SQA to get up and running. I would have no issue with trying half of the existing SQA
CSA has become pretty stable, with most of the growth in ECSA. With this in mind, I would feel comfortable reducing CSA by as much as 25% to start. Have you moved UCBs above the line? Look at other MVS areas that are optionally movable.

Due to some storage issues we've had recently with old 24 bit programs, I am revisiting our common storage configuration - CSA and SQA. Taking fragmentation into account, it appears that I'm using about 38% of my allocated SQA and about 46% of my allocated CSA. So I'm wondering if anybody has a good feel as to what a "good" percentage of used versus allocated space for these areas is. How low can I safely go in free space in these areas if we decide we want to try to eke out an additional MB of below-the-line private? Our current private size is 11MB.
