The performance impact of fragmented datasets disappeared years ago. The whole purpose of SMS is to reduce the end-user management of datasets and storage.

If he doesn't listen, tell him that he is to stop wasting your (and his) time; you've already given a solution. - 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
