OK, this is some education for me...I saw the count in the Dataclass and thought I would have to only increase that. I will make sure the Dataclass has the right count of vols, and will also be sure the SMS group has those specific volumes defined.
Now to be sure I have the command right, since I have 3 vols, and am adding 3 vols, I would do ALTER dsn AVOL(* * *), right? The file will be deleted at end of January, and a new one created, so I can do that after I take out those 3 extra vols. Thanks Lizette and everyone - I will let you know if I have further questions.
