Folks,
For small minidisks I used to use "DISK DUMP" to store it in the
spool. I know its slower and you need to be sure you don't fill the
spool space, but, if you are tight on DASD space, it can be quicker...
I assume this will stil work ?

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.
