Thanks to all who responded. The MCDS grew from 92% to 93% over the last 5 days. I looked at the SYS1.SAMPLIB(ARCSTRST). I noticed that when it does the IMPORT command, it is importing to a .NEW. This is confusing. I am not sure as to the reason for this. //SYSIN DD * LISTCAT ENT(?UID.MCDS ?UID.BCDS ?UID.OCDS) ALL EXAMINE NAME(?UID.MCDS) INDEXTEST IF LASTCC = 0 THEN - EXPORT ?UID.MCDS ODS(?UID.EXPORT.MCDS) TEMPORARY IF LASTCC = 0 THEN - IMPORT IDS(?UID.EXPORT.MCDS) ODS(?UID.MCDS.?NEW) - OBJECTS - ((?UID.MCDS - NEWNAME(?UID.MCDS.?NEW)) - (?UID.MCDS.DATA - NEWNAME(?UID.MCDS.?NEW.DATA)) - (?UID.MCDS.INDEX - NEWNAME(?UID.MCDS.?NEW.INDEX))) - CATALOG(?UCATNAM) IF MAXCC = 0 THEN - DELETE ?UID.EXPORT.MCDS NONVSAM
