Hi It seems that 3390-9 has the same number of tracks on our system. And that the IDCAMS input, I thought was the current and correct input, can not be correct.
We will follow your adwise. Just a thought - if we were to add a new (empty) 3390-9 to the storagegroup we would have a secornd allocation go there with 9980 cyls allocated?
