Willie, <I included the reorg just to test and see if the job runs okay> OK, I guess I can see that. <The freespace is 0,0 .> Not good, as was pointed out by a poster who knows a lot more about VSAM than I do, 0,0 will cause excessive CA splits in the days immediately after re-organizing and may cause the file to go over the 4GB limit. You may want to look at the last post in the thread 'FIXCDS to delete records from mcds'. If you make your freespace so that CA = 50% and CI = 0 you will eliminate the CA splits that may be causing you concern. One other question, what is the used space in the CDS immediately after re-org? If it is too high then obviously you have to do what you propose or split the MCDS onto multiple volumes.
