>If I read the bit about PAGEDEL correctly it occurs to me the ESQA issue is >minimised if the data set to be removed is empty (or almost so) at the time the PAGEDEL is issued. It strikes me one wouldn't typically remove a data set at a busy time. So I'm wondering if this is a big deal.
I'm not a big fan of PAGEDEL; the PDSN has to drain before it can be removed. >Or is this more a case of having to remove the data set in a hurry because >it's bad? Not required. z/OS can handle bad PDSNs & slots. >Not being an operator I'm not sure of exactly when PAGEDEL is used. Never, in my opinion. >PAGEADD is MORE my cuppa tea. :-) In a properly planned environment, neither should be required. If you're concerned about having enough pagespace for a sudden spike, put it in and keep it in. - 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
