I once worked at a small shop that was a parent company with a number of subsidiary companies. The HLQ of the datasets of each respective company was an 8 character acronym of the child company name. For each HLQ a user catalog was built. The DSN of the user catalog was 8 bytes, an exact match to the HLQ. No alias required! This trick worked in the late '90s, not sure if it still works.

Out of or near out of extents. Dead CIs. In sufficient index and/or data CISIZE. Catalog is allocated in tracks rather than cylinders.

Simplest method: see the extents in ISPF. CAT can have up to 123 extents (cannot be multi-volume), of course the volume cannot be full, otherwise the next extent won't have a place. BTW: I remember an opinion of Mark Thomen (he works with catalogs in IBM): there is no pain if your catalog have extents of splits. No need to reorganize it.
