But when you run your SMP/E APPLY, it will replace members in that PDS, leaving you with the same problem. If you have a target data set that is that small, it needs to be expanded. > >The problem is a compress only removes the "gas" members and does not >necessarily allow for two copies of the same member. True, but neither will purge/compress/reload. If you have a PDS that has a lot of gas, I think you'll find that the space used by it is the same after a compress as it is after purge/compress/reload. -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
