David, I can live with that (vvds in extents). It is a user test volume. I will have to examine the process of allocating a vvds in the same job as the initialize of the volume. This would save a lot of headaches. Thanks for the reassurance and advice from all.

For a SMS managed volume each file will require the following # of bytes: KSDS 530 ESDS 370 Linear 340 Non-VSAM 100 I suspect you're not going to have a problem. Worst case your VVDS goes into extents. ________________________________ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 --------------------------------- Yahoo!
