Yes, DMSPLU is nice for that (I sometimes do the same), but, as mentioned, once you download it, that date gets wiped out, and if you then upload to a VM system, using FTP or PCOMM, that date gets wiped ot in its turn... Only ALMCOPY preserves file dates when exchanging files between VM and PCs,

Hi Ben, If you're really part of IBM, then you should be able to find GONE EXEC on the internal VMTOOLS disk. I don't think it has ever been put on an external site of VM tools. It is pretty old - the level out there dates to 1991. On Tue, Sep 30, 2008 at 10:26 AM, Ben Gentenaar [EMAIL

Yes, that will work fine. It is best that all paging volumes are the same type (i.e. mod 3) and actually using mod 3s for paging gives VM more devices to use and lets it do more paging in parallel. Just make sure your page space usage is 50% or less - if it grows above that, add more paging
