Brian,
Not really..... freespace(50,50) will make the HURBA 4 times larger than necessary after you load it. The affect on file allocation will depend on how much gas is already in the primary allocation, and the size of the secondary extents. What IBM actually say is: Reorg with FREESPACE(0 0) and let DFSMShsm split midsection intervals ► Performance is degraded for about 2-3 weeks during this process ► Do not panic when you see HURBA/HARBA ratio increase during first several days In other words if your DFHSM is not busy enough to be affected by a large number of CA splits then (0 0) should be fine. However if you have very active DFHSM then you should go with (50 50) and mitigate the performance hit. As always, YMMV.
