Re: SORTING DIRECTORY GAPS BY USER
The DIRMAP utility is smart enough that if a full pack minidisk is defined that matches the size of a device, it doesn't flag it as an overlap. So, I define a userid named $DASD$ (mainly because this is how internal IBM systems were set up) that defines the full size of each disk. For example: USER $DASD$ NOLOG MDISK 0A00 3390 0 3339 610RES R MDISK 0A01 3390 0 3339 610SPL R MDISK 0A02 3390 0 3339 610PAG R MDISK 0A03 3390 0 3339 610W01 R MDISK 0A04 3390 0 3339 610W02 R The easy way to do this is copy $ALLOC$ and change the end cylinder. Now DIRMAP knows the true size of each dasd and shows any gap at the end.

Re: SORTING DIRECTORY GAPS BY USER
DIRMAP has a table of known disksizes (and one can define extra in a control file). DIRMAP guesses the size of a pack by looking at the last cylinder being used. For example: the last minidisk ends on cyl 400 -- DIRMAP thinks it is a model 1, 1113 cylinders and will report 401-1112 as gap I'll send you the document I wrote to tell my former customer how I set up our directory (with a FULLPACK user for example). 2011/1/5 George Henke/NYLIC george_he...@newyorklife.com This is great, George, ty.

Re: SORTING DIRECTORY GAPS BY USER
Hi, George. As Kris said, the program don't know the real end of the dasd. He assumes the model enough to accommodate the last cylinder defined. Due the same problem, avoid use 0 END for fullpacks. To bypass it: Without DIRMAINT: define a dummy machine with all fullpack. Good for backup purposes too... SYSDUMP1 is a good candidate. With DIRMAINT: see EXTENT CONTROL file. Specify the correct dasd TYPE (ex. 3390-09), in :REGIONS. section. The TYPEs (sizes) are described in DEFAULTS DATADVH file. If you already uses the dummy fullpack machine, put it on :EXCLUDE. section, to avoid a false No gaps available. __ Clovis From: George Henke/NYLIC george_he...@newyorklife.com To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Date: 01/05/2011 06:51 PM Subject: Re: SORTING DIRECTORY GAPS BY USER Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU This is great, George, ty. Just one problem. It does not show the GAPs after the last extent on a VOLSER. It would be nice to know the GAPS on the tailend of a VOLSER also.

Even more comically humorous to me is that without specially paid for extra hardware, that $1M computer (obviously someone is getting a very good deal on 196's!), that computer's own internal clock is no more accurate than Mickey!
