Well, you know. When you ask someone did they change anything and they say, "No I didn't change anything". They mean, "No I didn't change anything that should have affected you."
They did indeed change the size of at least one of the page datasets. That's interesting to note that the slot count of the smallest page set suddenly becomes the slot count of each one. Would that explain why the pages fill up and stay that way forever and ever? Anne R.

Are all of your Page Datasets the same size on the new box ? If you have page Datasets allocated of different sizes then you end up not using the full capacity of each page dataset from what I remember. I recollect that the slot count used is the same across all page datasets based on the count from the smallest one. (They may have changed the algorithm since I last set up page datasets and my knowledge may not be current on this but it's worth checking) Jerry Whitteridge Lead Systems Programmer Safeway Inc. 925 951 4184 If you feel in control you just aren't going fast enough. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jim Mulder Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2013 11:34 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: DFSORT Weirdness > Yeah, we've been told to do the same thing, but I need to know why > this suddenly happened. All we did was move our page data sets to the DS8800. Did the move preserve the number of page data sets, and the size of the page data sets? Was the total amount of page data set space the same before and after the move? Jim Mulder z/OS System Test IBM Corp.
