Not for weekends only... Itschak, The result of course is that you will *need* more free space satisfying Primary allocation with large contiguous extents, than if you use allocation recovery software built into SMS, or better still a third party product. My experience is that the 3rd party products allow me to run at 10-15% Freespace, whereas I needed 30-40% and a lot of JCL amendments without. One site had 2-3 space abends a night and needed daily DEFRAGS just to survive. After fine tuning ACC/SRS we were down to less than two space abends a month and reclaimed 20% of the Batch Storgrup. And of course never ending JCL amendments went away... But to your question, the only product I can think of that will do what you want is LDMF, which will mean migrating the fragmented dataset(s) onto another volume. Net/net you may as well allocate the datasets that are failing allocation on the other volume and defrag that volume when they are closed.

I want to have free space. If space is stripped, I want to reclaim the space into contiguous area. The problem is that many datasets on the volume are in use and are not moved.

I wonder if there is a defrag product that can use hardware technologies (I'll accept software solutions as well ;-) ) to re- map moved cylinders. The fact is that all sites I know uses Defrag mainly on weekends and effciency is poor. If you have a DB2 subsys that runs 7X24, or CICS, you can't stop the databases and defrag is not much helpful.

I'm trying to resolve: HCI6500 ERROR FUNCTION HCI6500 HOLDE *AK48164 Its not at all clear to me how you get the above output when trying to apply a PTF. The above output suggests you are applying FUNCTION SYSMOD HCI6500. If so, are you following the instructions from the Program Directory? The Program Directory should tell you to apply the FMID something like this slimmed down example: APPLY S(HCI6500) CHECK FORFMID(HCI6500) BYPASS(HOLDCLASS(HIPER)). The important points here are: - BYPASS for HIPER errors, which will allow HCI6500 to be applied without being held for AK48164. - FORFMID(HCI6500) will drag all PTFs for that FMID into the APPLY, thus likely resolving the hold for AK48164. HOWEVER, you should analyze any unresolved and bypassed HIPERs (including AK48164) to determine if the problem and fix is something you should be concerned with in your specific environment.

FYI, this problem was caused by an erroneous change to our ACS routines that caused the allocation of a tape drive to fail - no other messages were issued and the message explanation for this message does not mention allocation problems at all.

Re: Defining Page Datasets on RESCUE Pack
-snip I am trying to create a One Pack system, and I'm having a hard time defining the Page datasets. This was very simple when I could use a STEPCAT dd, but since I'm on z/OS 1.7, I can't. I followed an example in the book Access Method Services for Catalogs. It had me define an alias in the master catalog. Then I defined the pagespaces using that alias as the high level qualifier. Then I renamed the dataset to the proper name. This does'nt work. I get a the following messages: DEF ALIAS (NAME(ONEPACK) RELATE(CATALOG.FLCRES.MSTRCAT)) IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 0 DEF PAGESPACE (NAME(ONEPACK.FLCRES.LPA) VOL(FLCRES) FILE(DISK) - CYLINDERS(1) UNIQUE) - CATALOG(CATALOG.FLCRES.MSTRCAT) IDC3171I CATALOG PARAMETER NOT ALLOWED ON DEFINE PAGESPACE UNLESS IDC3171I RECATALOG SPECIFIED IDC2954I STATIC TEXT ENTRY REQUESTED NOT IN MODULE IDC3003I FUNCTION TERMINATED.

I downloaded 4 files from the CBT site, and all of them still use STEPCAT. ---unsnip Eric, what I've always done is this: 1. DEFINE the new page files in the current MCAT. 2. REPRO MERGECAT to move the entries to the desired new MCAT. 3. ALTER NEWNAME as needed to get the desired names.
