Sorry, I missed the number of output volumes, and you will need to use the FILTERDD to spcify more than 255 datasets. Still, it should work. If you want copies, then don't use DELETE or CATALOG. I suspect that in general is will just start writing and when each volume fills up, it will move on to the next one. Any more desire at a specific placement would probably be unique to your shop. > > Does anyone know of a utility, REXX, EXCEL, executable program, etc, that > would let me feed in the file names and sizes, dasd characteristics, etc, and > produce a list of what files should be allocated on what packs? > > The file sizes vary file to file, but they do not expand or contract once > allocated and won't change until the next time the files need to be adjusted, > which won't hopefully, change for a while. > > Thanks, > Chuck > > Charles (Chuck) Hardee<mailto:[email protected]> > Senior Systems Engineer/Database Administration EAS Information > Technology > > Thermo Fisher Scientific > 300 Industry Drive | Pittsburgh, PA 15275 Phone +1 (724) 517-2633 | Mobile > +1 (412) 877-2809 | FAX: +1 (412) 490-9230 > [email protected]<mailto:[email protected] > > | www.thermofisher.com > > WORLDWIDE CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE: Dissemination, distribution or copying > of this e-mail or the information herein by anyone other than the intended > recipient, or an employee or agent of a system responsible for delivering the > message to the intended recipient, is prohibited.
