Try 18K for your Data CI. The Index CI contains pointers to each Data CI. Using a 4K Data CI will produce 180 Data CI per CA. A 2k Index CI is not large enough therefore VSAM corrects your error.

When I define the cluster for some reason the CISIZE of the .INDEX component does not use the same value in the cluster defintion. In this case it substitutes 2048 with 3584. I am befuddled by this. Could someone shed some light? Would this cause a problem for the STC DFHSM? Here is my define cluster: DEFINE CLUSTER - (NAME(DFHSM.MCDS.COPY) VOLUME(PROD01) - CYLINDER(798 0) FILE(HSMMCDS) - RECORDSIZE(435 2040) FREESPACE(0 0) - SPEED BUFFERSPACE(530432) - INDEXED KEYS(44 0) SHAREOPTIONS(3 3) - UNIQUE NOWRITECHECK) - DATA (NAME(DFHSM.MCDS.COPY.DATA) CISZ(4096) ) - INDEX (NAME(DFHSM.MCDS.COPY.INDEX) CISZ(2048) ) /* Thanks in advance __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
