Actually, the dataset we had a problem with wasn't a VSAM dataset, but the situation was that the storage folks had started setting up VSAM striped datasets which, of course, required VSAM EF. I've been a performance analyst/capacity planner for some 15 years now, so I'm no real familiar with the current SMS processes. I don't know why setting up VSAM EF to stripe one VSAM file would have caused this. I just know that it did. The PS dataset in question had the same high level as the VSAM dataset they had striped.
