If you needed a spill data set in the past, you'll probably need one again some day. Given the trouble it takes to create and then delete a spill data set, I'm with others in recommending that you just leave it. I've never deleted one, but I know that displaying a sysmod in the Global zone shows which PTS it lives in. If you just move sysmods outside of SMPE., will Global zone display choke? My suggestions:
1. Make any PTS a PDSE so that you won't have directory block shortages. 2. Update SMPE management options so that compress is not attempted on any except the *last* defined PTS. If you use PDSEs, compress will not work anyway, but why bother trying? 3. In the case of a PDSE growing excessively large, you may want to shrink it manually now and then. . .

HTH, <snip> I have created one SMPPTS spill data set to complete receive job for large number of PTFS, After the APPLY and ACCEPT most of the PTFS deleted and I would like to delete the spill data set which still have few entries on it. If someone tried that before can you please advise the steps to do that? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
