Three options: 1 - Allocate a dataset with more directory blocks. Copy from the old one to the new one, delete and rename.
2 - If you have PDSFAST from SEA it has an "expand directory blocks" control statement. 3 - Check at www.cbttape.org for a progam named EXPDIR which does the same thing. At various times I use any of the above to resolve this type of problem. Alan I have several PDS datasets where there is plenty of room in the dataset but the directories have run out of space. These are really big datasets like over 3,000 cylinders. I used FDRReorg to get some additional space but not all that I need...only does the job if a compress is done. Close but no prize. 1. What would be the best approach to extending the directory blocks. 2. I'm not that good with DFDSS so if I would have to use this program how would I set it up. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
