Re: FW: Respack Volume Size Challenge

[John Eells]

That makes perfect sense, thanks; it's just terminology.  (I always call 
the target and DLIB data sets "SMP/E-managed data sets" but that does 
not mean everyone has to!)  I'm less confused now.  ;-)

We used multiple CSI's because a lot of the products were moved to their own 
set of CSI's (ZONEINDEX was used heavily), also ALL the TARGET and DLIB data 
sets (which I consider part of the SMPe data sets), SMPPTSx (multiple) and 
other SMP data sets.

Not that I consider 3-volumes respack crazy, just wanted to point out that
it works even with more than 2 volumes :)
By the way, we used FILTERs in ADRDSSU job to fit each product in 1 volume
the best we could - for example, our Netview was entirely in volume #2 at
that time.
