Mark:
Ben Alford was lamenting the fact that Extent Consolidation only
worked
for VSAM. I was speculating that IBM might not have wanted to simply
enable it for non-VSAM because it might break some applications. One
scenario that crossed my mind is as follows:
Let me say it again: There is NO EXTENT CONSOLIDATION for non-VSAM
data
sets. Therefore, there is no reason to worry about them. It is very
unlikely we will implement that feature for non-VSAM.
Mark,
IIRC FDR does it extremely efficiently. Help support OEM vendors:)
