As always, Eric, the answer to your question is: "It depends ..." Other than PLPA and COMMON, are you paging at all to the LOCAL datasets? Check your RMF reports to see, how much activity you have, average and peak values. That should tell you, (a) if you should spread this over more volumes and (b) if you have enough page space to handle a peak load without a negative performance hit.

I'm sure they have Pavs, or the equivelent on the dasd, but I'm just wondering if that is a good practice or not.
