We are using the Dialog manager for z/OS v1.8. in trying to install this
new release we are running into a problem with dataset allocation. We
select the "Modify system Layout" panel then "Data Set Summary" .. after
which we select individual datasets for modification. We are changing
the primary and secondary space allocation to be on a cylindar boundry..
but after saving the configuration the dialog manager adds 1 track to
the allocation throwing off the cylindar boundry and defeating the
purpose. We did additional testing and noticed only VSAM and HFS files
are the only types where the dialog was adding 1 track to the allocation
that was changed. Changes to SEQ, PDS, and PDSE datasets were accepted
by the dialog.
you can see in this example ROOT was changed to be on a cylindar boundry
with an allocation of 39990 and saved .. but when I went back and looked
you can see it was changed to add the additional track ???
OMVSZ18.ROOT HFS 39991
(ps. it doesnt help to reduce the allocation by 1 track.. the dialog manager
will add 2 still bumping it beyond the cylindar boundry ,, ie. if trying to
allocate
39989 it will change to 39991 ?? very kooky)
