>>I was surprised to read that on second and subsequent volumes, allocation
is based on SECONDARY amounts.
Just to confuse everything, VSAM rules are just the opposite. For VSAM
datasets, the Primary is used on each subsequent volume for the initial extent
(s) on that volume, and then Secondary for the remaining extents.
So:
Non-VSAM: Volume 1 (Primary, then Secondary), Volumes 2-n (Secondary)
16 Extents per volume, Max 59 volumes
VSAM: Volume 1 (Primary, then Seconary), Volumes 2-n (Primary, then
Secondary)
Watch me be wrong about this one (123 Extents Maximum), no limit
per volume
If I'm wrong about the VSAM extents, please correct me.
