<snip> The down side of this method is that you only have one chance to determine the size, at dataset creation <unsnip> I also believe that HSM's ARCMDEXT exit is the place to decide whether to migrate, either ML1 or ML2, or leave it spin a little longer. And the exit certainly isn't rocket science. The SMS Mclass is based on the total size of the DSN at allocation, ie primary and 15*secondary. In our case that tends to distort the actual size of the DSN.
