John;
At Morgan Stanley we split the index and data all the time. We are outsourced to IBM Global Services and it is their ACS routines that do this. On the DEFINE control statements in the INDEX component the VOLUME parameter looks like VOL=(I * * * * *) where the "I" is a pseudo volser and the "*" are secondary volsers. On the DATA component we specify VOLUME=(D * * * * *) where the "D" is also a pseudo volser and the "*" are secondary volsers. I will contact IBM to obtain the details if you like. Please let me know.

Interesting question. My "gut feel" is that you can't do this. But I do wonder what would happen if the STORGRUP ACS routine mapped the different components of a VSAM cluster into different storage groups, which would put them on different volumes. I do know that the components must reside in the same STORAGE CLASS. And that the STORGRUP ACS routine is not forced to map a given STORCLAS to a single STORGRUP. -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
