Well, eeeexxxcccuuussseee me, Tom! :-) You are right of course. I would RTFB except that I am not allowed to play "storage administrator" anymore. I was just trying to be helpful to Willie. When my memory fades a little more on storage management issues, I'll stop answering those questions and leave to you young-uns to answer!

Stop thinking only of VSAM! On an SMS managed volume, ALL data sets have an entry in the VVDS. The default allocation is 10 tracks primary and 10 tracks secondary. You need to RTFB in Managing catalogs. A KSDS needs 530 bytes. Non-VSAM needs 100 bytes. If you have SMS volumes that are used for similar data sets, you might be able to get an idea by looking at their VVDSes.
