The IODF "must" be in one extent or it will not be usable.

My experience is that if the IODF is allocated in more than one extent it
is
unusuable for system IPL/Dynamic Acitivation. This my be different on more
current levels of the operating system, we are OS/390 2.4/2.10.

Radoslaw,
I see no one answered your post from 9-18. Unfortuneatly, I won't either.
I did have a question though. Does the IODF have to be in one extent? I
don't recall hearing that rule.

I just encountered the following problem:
Restored production IODF from DSS dump and got two-extents file. For
obvious reason I didn't want more than 1 extent. <g> The primary reason
was near-full, fragmented volume, which shouldn't have place, however it
had place.
Q: how can I prevent such multi-extent allocation ?
I'd like to have something a'la CONTIG: single extent file or failure.
