Esmie, If you do not specify space for DATA and INDEX, the system takes the 25 cyls and allocates an INDEX as part of the 25 cyls you specified after the DEFINE. If you want the DATA to contain 25 cyls, then you should specify SPACE for DATA and INDEX. How much space was allocated to the INDEX?

The USERCAT is SMS managed and resided on vol PLN902 before I reallocated on PLN906.
