SCR first mostly due to the fact you already have it.
If you need to support notcat 2, CA has done alot of work with Does It
Fit (DIF) processing which I have not had time to really test. If you
are doing primary space (checking) reduction, you need to check the
number of volumes in your pools. CA-Allocate does an obtain on every
volume in the pool to check space availability for each allocation
while StopX37 is entered only if you can an abend. I had a few SMS
pools with several hundred volumes and primary space checking would
take quite a bit of time for each allocation (DD).

John,
Could you clarify on what you mean by "Not Cat 2"?
I have worked in a few shops and never heard of that being a handable
condition (good or bad).
