<snip> Is there any reason to specify a STACK value less than 99 when defining a dump class? </snip>
Yes there is. There is an APAR out that has to do with the CISIZE of the HSM CDS. It seems that under a "new" format 99 the amount of data needed to record the 99 volumes will generate a logical record that exceed the CISIZE of (IIRC), the HSM OCDS. There are 2 solutions. 1) Limit stacking to (again IIRC) 97 or less 2) Recreate the CDS with a larger CISIZE. If option 2 is chosen, the 99 is fine.. We chose the easy way out and reduced the stack to 95...
