Hi Dennis, I have a feeling that when I follow my cheatsheet below that during rebuilds when applying maintenance the rebuilds fail due to storage already in use. Haven't tested but maintenance goes on fine on systems without the increased HELPSEG

What's the proper way to do this? If I just COPYFILE them to the disk, HELP works, but PUT2PROD chokes the next time it tries to build the help segment. Could the segment be getting full, or is there a VMSES command that should be issued to add the files, so that all the proper VMSES control files get updated?
