I made the wrong comment. the "F DFSMSHSM,BACKVOL CDS" command is running on a schedule. When it runs, last time was yesterday, the HSM1.JRNL dataset does get reset to empty. In my case, it is allocated with 150 CYLS and since yesterday it has used up 22 CYLS. The problem is that I am getting hit with messages that it is 80% full quite often. So my thinking is that I either run the BACKVOL command more often or increase the size of the HSM1.JRNL dataset. If I was to increase the size of the HSM1.JRNL dataset, what would be the best practice? Run the BACKVOL CDS command, take down DFSMSHSM, increase the size of the JRNL file size (after deleting and re-allocating) or is it something else? Thanks.

Not how to automate doing the backvol command or how to do the backvol cds command. He knows how, he just wants to do it less often. At least, that's how I read his intent. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
