I took our current TMC which as allocated at 900 Cyls using 450Cyls from unblocked to blocked. I used the TMSXTEND function - Very easy to use.
Now my TMC is 189 Cyls (still way to big). The block used was BLKSIZE=8804 (the recommended size by CA) The task was very easy if you follow the steps documented. TMSXTEND is a different format - but it will allow you to extend the TMC tape range without a TAPE outage. Lizette <--- Snip I am thinking about finally blocking my CA-1 TMC. We're not a huge shop, tape-wise, compared to many and so the block size of our TMC isn't really killing us but it would be nicer if certain queries or reports ran faster. I'm thinking that someone on IBM-MAIN must have done this already - anything major to look out for? Our CA-1 is at R11.5 .
