Mark, I haven't done it, but these look like very similar to the mdisks added to DATAMOVE, part of DIRMAINT. Are you supposed to leave the volume as $$$$$$? In DATAMOVE they are not real mindisks, just an entry used by the product. No real dasd space or SFS space was ever needed by those entries. But I have no DFSMS experience. Ron
