Subject: Re: How to free up space from deleted datasets wtihout IXFP
One way to free up space on your RVA without IXFP is to fill up your
volumes with large datasets containing binary zeros, then delete those
datasets. The backend will still remember those tracks as they do
without IXFP today, but they'll be compressed into near-nothingness.
David,
Whoa mama! Cool man! (a la Bart Simpson). Great solution to a really
<snipped> problem.
