According to the z/OS V1R7.0 Managing Catalogs manual: "Explicitly defining a VVDS is usually appropriate when you are initializing a new volume. If you are not running SMS, and a volume already contains some non-VSAM data sets, it is appropriate to allow the VVDS to be defined implicitly with the default space allocation of TRACKS(10 10)."

Keith Company -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL Sent: Monday, September 18, 2006 9:12 AM >Yes, the first time a data set gets placed on an SMS-managed volume, a VVDS will be created if one does not already exist. (This is true whether the data set is VSAM or not.) The equivalent of SPACE=(TRK,(4,4)) is used. This doesn't get you much on large packs. ######################################################################## As of January 1, 2007, Ben E.
