I always use a full 3390-3 (times three minimum) page pack. I never populate the volume with so-called 'low-use' >I also plan on being ready to add at least two more page datasets of similar >size, in case of an emergency that might arise due to shortages If I have to add one, I update IEASYSxx after the pageadd, and never delete one. Of course, I then create another spare for that system. I also pull the old stunt of a 1-cyl PLPA overflowing to Common on the same pack. Ideally, I don't page. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
