Thanks for any help. > To redefine them you'll have to take a sysplex wide outage! <g,d, & r> There are some considerations in regards to reply IDs when the XCF couple data has MAXSYSTEM > 8 (see the Setting up a Sysplex manual). But other than taking up more space, I don't think you need to worry about it...especially in a monoplex. Somewhere I think I recall reading or hearing that there is also a slight performance impact if you code 32 compared to 8, but that is also probably for a small sysplex, not a monoplex. Bottom line: Don't worry, be happy.
