>Questions: Is there a way we can allocate an SMF dataset of 10.000 cylinders? If there is no way to allocate such a dataset, how do you suggest to deal with this problem?
Standard VSAM has a limit of 2GB. With an extended format file you can go to 4GB times the CI-size (4K in SMF's case). Or, you can allocate more of them at 2GB. Or, dump more frequently. - -teD I’m an enthusiastic proselytiser of the universal panacea I believe in! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
