Thanks Michael. I will address the subject about the weekly reorgs with our gurus (hard headed). Hopefully they will come around.

You should re-consider your policy to reorganize your HSM CDS's weekly. The article at http://www.mainstar.com/pdf/000-0112_HSM-CDS-Tng.PDF does a good job of describing the problem you are creating by reorganizing once a week. You also have the option to split the MCDS into 2, 3, or 4 MCDS data sets. Check http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2I440/1.3. 1.13?DT=20050712201502 for more information. Information about converting to Extended Addressability can be found at http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2I440/1.3. 1.15?DT=20050712201502. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Elizabeth Black Sent: Tuesday, February 13, 2007 8:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: HSM : CHANGING TO VSAM EXTENDED It used to be a requirement that to go EA with the CDS' required that you go RLS first. We followed that route and actually found some significant improvement in HSM processing times due to the RLS conversion, however, I believe that now you can go EA without having to first convert to RLS processing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html --------------------------------- Access over 1 million songs - Yahoo!
