Am I missing a step here? CMS can write only on the formatted area of the disk. When you extended the minidisk, the formatted area didn't change. (QUERY DISK would have shown you the same values.) To make life inconvenient, CMS FORMAT cannot extend the formatted area. Smaller, yes; larger, no. So, you need TWO disks. You need a second disk to which you can copy the contents of your A-disk. (It could another MDISK, SFS or a formatted T-disk, if you like.) Then you FORMAT your 191. Then you copy the files from t-disk (e.g.) back to your A-disk. If you have DIRMAINT installed with DATAMOVE configured, a DIRM CMDISK will cause all of that to happen for you. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
