Tom, I think that issue is when you are on the edge with space in the dataset. Every time you copy the member (plus whatever aliases) you create a second copy of the original member. If you do a purge of the file, compress and load, you only have the one copy (plus whatever aliases) and so it just might fit.
The problem is a compress only removes the "gas" members and does not necessarily allow for two copies of the same member. HTH. Lizette >sorry, I mean take a backup then cleaning up the library and move all >data back. this just another option. How does that differ from a compress? How will it help when a compress isn't sufficient? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
