I did try setting my max to 256G, and as you advised it did work. But it seems as if there should be two separate messages (or text variations)...
If it does nothing, as it did in the case when I asked for more storage than permitted, it should say something like (with red below showing the changes): HCPDST093E Storage size requested (16E) exceeds maximum allowed on this processor (256G). Size remains unchanged. If it actually made a change (although different from the requested size: HCPDST093W Storage size requested (16E) exceeds maximum allowed on this processor (256G). Size set to maximum allowed. Is that worth my opening a PMR? I would not ask for the red coloring in the messages. (Gee, that makes me think of the old command CMS command "SET REDTYPE ON"!) ;-) Mike Walter Hewitt Associates Any opinions expressed herein are mine alone and do not necessarily represent the opinions or policies of Hewitt Associates.

The request continues as though you had issued DEFINE STORAGE 256G. If your directory maximum was 256G, your DEFINE STORAGE 16E would have worked.
