I can think of no reason not to turn it on. I have had it turned it for *all* VSAM processing (including user catalogs) since early 2012 w/no reported issues.
I would turn it on prior to rebuilding the CDS's/UCATS and then proceed with whatever is necessary. HTH, <snip> I asked for reasons to NOT turn it on. As to my specific problem, there is a caveat in the documentation than indicates it isn't an immediate solution. CA's that are empty when CA Reclaim is enabled are not reclaimed. So, I would have needed to delete/reallocate my xCDS(s) anyway. The same would apply to the user catalog I have with SMTP as HLQ. It is subject to growing because of the constantly increasing names. It has already run up to 123 existing extents. </snip> > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
