Yes, ever since we added the SMPPTS spill data set function (year 2000) SMP/E has allowed you to merge data sets, move PTFs from data set to data set, add data sets, whatever you want to do, as long as the SMPPTSnn DDDEF entries in your global, target, and dlib zones point to your current set of SMPPTS data sets. Kurt Quackenbush -- IBM, SMP/E Development And one other - albeit minor - caveat to the SMPPTS spill datasets is that you can't skip one. IF you're consolidating them down and you have, for example SMPPTS1,2,3 and 2 empties out, if you just remove SMPPTS2, SMP/E won't use SMPPTS3 either.
