John, How often do you update it? If quite a lot, leave it alone. If once a year, reduce it. Same thing applies to the # of directory blocks. If you aren't going to add a lot of new members, drop the 400 down to 30-50.
Also, get PDS 8.6 as I suggested. You won't regret it. Bob --------------------------------------------------------- Robert B.
