Isn't 19D just the help files? Just define a 119D disk and copy 19D to it. Then change the directory making the old 19D 219D and the 119D to be 19D. Now for all the running users linked to 19D just do these 2 commands.. if you are 5.3 ... FOR userid CMD DET 19D ... FOR userid LINK MAINT 19D 19D. It will be reaccessed the next time they do a HELP..

Thanks all...great suggestions. >>> Dave Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 6/27/2008 9:52 AM >>> Hi, Howard. Try the following: 1) create another VM user id with the proper privileges. Call it, say, MAINTX. 2) create the new MAINT mindisks on the new volume,using your favorite directory manager tools. 3) logo off of MAINT 4) from MAINTX, link to both the old MAINT's minidisks, and the new minidisks on the new volume. 5) do a DDR from each old minidisk to the new one. 6) update all of the other user directory entries to point to the new MAINT minidisk locations, and bring the directory online. It will not matter that other users have links to MAINT's old minidisks, as these links should be r/o only. As users log off and back on again, they will pick up the new location for MAINT's minidisks. When the last user using the old minidisk location logs off, you can then reclaim that DASD space for other uses. No shutdown and no IPL required. Good luck.
