I do understand. Our current CIO thinks that we are lazy <elided> who just don't want to bother with doing DASD management. After all, surely we can manage with less that a 20% "head room" on DASD for "unexpected demand". This is in the test pool. He would actually like the programmers to tell DASD management how big a file is likely to be! Can you imagine? Our programmers couldn't figure that out in 2.73E+100 years! When we had asked them in the past, their general response has been along the lines of "how should we know? That's your job" (no, it's not). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
