Tom, We've not had performance problems for the dataset, just the occasional hiccup when they get allocated to a hot volume which then exceeds the x'500' threshold in XRC. The primary concern is that XRC doesn't block the volume so striping would just mean we have to DNB more volumes wouldn't it?
They are only smallish datasets and also dynamically allocated (I should have pointed that out earlier) so the JCL method is a non-starter (I'd love to be wrong on that one?). I'm still leaning to creating a new SG with just one volume. Unless anyone knows better. Regards (and thanks for all input), JJ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
