But I think your approach is very tricky because it relies on the DETACH 191 preventing CMS from writing back the directory. You should also make clear that nothing else should be done between these steps since it would break the spell. And not copying the data is even faster than having DFSMS COPY do it. So my approach would be: RELEASE A ( DET LINK * 191 191 ACCESS 191 A run a pipeline that formats the new cylinders beyond the CMS formatted area FORMAT 191 A ( RECOMP This takes minimal resources since it only formats the added cylinders. If someone needs to see the pipeline to do this, then today would be the day to ask since it's friday again. Sir Rob the Plumber
