There was a tdisk module a few years ago which attempted to link access preformatted tdisk space set up as minidisks belonging to a dummy userid. Only when none were available did it resort to defining and formatting system tdisk space. It wouldn't be that difficult to replicate the function in an exec.

Yes but if it was an EXEC it isn't anymore to my knowledge. TDISK is now done as follows define tdisk 3390 as F01 cyl 100 devtyp cuu You then have to format it using the regular format command.

I seem to recall using z/vm in the late 80's and there being a exec called tdisk to create a temporary disk under cms. Is that available anywhere? Thanks ________________________________ Lionel B.
