If you are lucky, you might be able to use the ICKDSF REFORMAT command to expand the VTOC. Look at the EXTVTOC to extend the current VTOC or the NEWVTOC parameter to recreate the VTOC in another location on the volume. Especially read on what needs to be done on sharing systems, if any! http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/ICK4020A/2.14 If the problem is with the VTOC index, then you'd need to do a BUILDIX command with the OSVTOC parameter to disable the current VTOC index. Delete the index dataset. Allocate a larger VTOC index dataset, then use the BUILDIX command with the IXVTOC parameter to rebuild and activate the index. Note that a nonSMS volume can live without a VTOC index. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
