MVS will attempt to allocate the Primary in as many as 5 extents. If not enough space exists on a single volume to honor that request then the allocation fails. ________________________________ From: Dave Guthrie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Mon 7/2/2007 1:36 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: IGD17272I sms extended dataset allocate Perhaps I have a basic miss understaning. Am I limited to the size of the volume for the primary allocation. I was thinking I could allocate say 2gig as an initial allocation with Idcams and the system would allocate the space accross the needed volumes? That's why I had an initial allocation greater than one volume....
