I agree completely with this. I did question the multiple of 45, but PDS directories should be allocated with plenty of space. For a very small directory (maybe under 20 blocks) I like to see at least double what is used. For a large directory (maybe 500 blocks) I like to see at least 20% free. Maybe a little less if it is a load library and no growth is expected. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
