The BCDS is a VSAM file. The time that I had this problem, I had to: 1) stop DFHSM. That is, bring down the STC. If multi-CEC, then all DFHSM instances which use this BCDS. 2) Create a new BCDS with more space in it. 3) REPRO the contents of the old BCDS into the new BCDS 4) ALTER ... NEWNAME the old BCDS to another name. 5) ALTER ... NEWNAME to new BCDS to the old BCDS's name 6) Restart DFHSM There may be a better way, but the above worked for me. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
