OK, aside from that, why specify PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) in the first
place?
We have a 3-member sysplex in which we do not currently share PDSEs, so
we take the default of PDSESHARING(NORMAL). When I suggested we specify
PDSESHARING(EXTENDED), the response was something along the lines of
"The systems are running fine without it. Why should we change it?
What would we gain by specifying it? What do we risk "breaking" if we
specify it? What are we "losing" without it?"
IOW, I seek a "justification" for PDSESHARING(EXTENDED) that management
would "buy".
