Check the definition of the SMS management class assigned and see if 'PARTIAL RELEASE' is specified.
<snip> I am trying to understand why the space allocation was changed when I allocated the USERCAT. The USERCAT is SMS managed and resided on vol PLN902 before I reallocated on PLN906. In the CLUSTER definition I had the following : DEFINE - USERCATALOG - (NAME (SYS1.ICFCAT.UCATPLN) - CYL(25,5) - VOLUME(PLN906) - STORAGECLASS(GUASPACE) - ICFCATALOG - STRNO(3) - FREESPACE(20 20) - NOIMBED - LOCK - SHAREOPTIONS(3 4)) - DATA( - CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(4096)) /* The catalog was successfully allocated: IDC0510I CATALOG ALLOCATION STATUS FOR VOLUME PLN906 IS 0 IDC0512I NAME GENERATED-(I) SYS1.ICFCAT.UCATPLN.CATINDEX IDC0181I STORAGECLASS USED IS GUASPACE IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 0 However it shows : ALLOCATION SPACE-TYPE------CYLINDER HI-A-RBA--------15482880 SPACE-PRI-------------21 HI-U-RBA---------2949120 SPACE-SEC--------------5 VOLUME VOLSER------------PLN906 PHYREC-SIZE---------4096 HI-A-RBA------- Why would the system override my allocation of 25 cylinders primary? Is there a reason to be concerned? How would I prevent this from happening again? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
