Why? SMPPTS1..99 is a logical extention to SMPPTS and is how the SMP/E people got around the restriction that a PDS cannot span multiple volumes. NO need to copy the current SMPPTS contents at all. Allocate it to SMPPTS like at present and allocate the new one to SMPPTS1. If SMPPTS is full, SMP/E will automagically spill over to SMPPTS1. And, from my experience, you could eve put the old DSN on SMPPTS1, the new DSN on SMPPTS and avoid the "spill over". SMP/E will search each SMPPTSn DD, in numeric order, looking for the appropriate member. Why do this? To avoid the overhead of trying to add new members to the full SMPPTS dataset. Do it my way and new members go to the new DSN on SMPPTS and, if necessary, SMP/E will search SMPPTS1 for older members. It doesn't really seem to matter.
