Wouldn't removing the extend pool in effect put me in a situation where I have one dataset in two storage groups? I thought that wasn't allowed (without overflow or extend pools)? Wouldn't this result in an issue with DFSMSdfp? (is that the correct phrase?)

SMS does not access files. It just determines where they go. Once allocated (and catalogued), the file is fully accessible. - 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 This e-mail, including attachments, may include confidential and/or proprietary information, and may be used only by the person or entity to which it is addressed.
