Have you ever heard of inheritance? When one steps into a new shop, 9 times out of 10, one inherits decisions made by others. Along with that inheritance comes the ever faithful reply, when asked, "Not sure, it's just always been that way". When one asks the next question, "Who made the decision", it's responded with "your predecessor" or "Not sure, they're long gone".
Bottom line, I have no control in the use, or lack thereof, of SMS for these files. The rules are, not SMS managed, 1500+ files, 70 3390 mod 3s, emulated DASD, no control on placement for performance, balance the allocations across the packs with respect to file sizes, DASD sizes and quantity. As, I believe it was Paul Gilmartin, has been stated, this is the (unbounded) knapsack problem. And, as Lizette stated, these DASD being emulated on a storage array, I have no control on the placement of the files for performance. Oh, give me the days of the IBM washing machines in the data center! (well, maybe not) However, the use of ADRDSSU may be an option. I will have to go thru the manual and see what it says can be done. I guess I have some night time reading ahead of me. Oh for a good bed time story :) Thanks to all who have replied, you have given me a feast of information that I now must absorb.
