I seem to recall that the maximum size of a dataset is 65535, regardless of how many volumes it resides on. I don't remember if you have to do anything with SMS to support it, but LARGE does allow the dsn to span volumes. Unfortunately, I've never had the opportunity to work at a shop that exploits it. - 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
