I suppose with "Magic Copying" (flashcopy, etc) you can actually do this. But not with DDR. These days, most VM systems programmers are overcommitted and have minor time slices that are too short to have a DDR of a model 3 complete within one time slice. My suggestion would be to DDR from cylinder 1 up. That way there is no time bomb ticking in your office while you fight some other fire. Only your RES pack has something in cylinder 0 that you need (allocation map and directory pointer). But since you have to change the volsers in the directory anyway, you have to DIRECTXA to the new sysres. So all that is left is the PARM allocations (very easy to do yourself with ICKDSF). Rob PS I still remember when our security manager started to make drastic RACF changes on friday morning, then realized he had a dentist appointment... After the treatment he decided to start his weekend early. My weekend got also a bit longer when I got paged on saturday night because VM did not come up after IPL anymore.
