That was my thought also. My last question to him (off list) had been: was the disk where it came from also CMS formatted in 4096 blocks, like the current one? Could the block size formatting make a difference for single-file capacity, Alan? He claims the original file was on a CMS full pack minus cyl 0, so he feels it should fit on a pack of the same number of cylinders.

Will the new VM releases help? In the screenshot you provided to David Wasker, there was an important clue: 552 Data transfer aborted due to disk overflow That error only appears if CMS thinks the disk is full.
