>PDS's have the reclaiming space issue, PDSE's should not. With a PDSE when a member is deleted, or re-written to a larger block, the unused space it had occupied becomes available for immediate usage by the next write (STOR) activity.
Not entirely accurate. If the member(s) are still in use the space will not be available. This can run up to doubling the space. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
