Mark, Until someone tells you differently, I'd assume (usually bad thing) that the doc never got updated when everything else was changed to 3390. I'm guessing that it is really trying to imply that those MDISKs should not be moved to SFS directories.
Now, a 2-fer of questions for *you*... 1) Why not just open a PMR with IBM to get the correct info fro the horse's mouth? 2) Do you really WANT to use DFSMS/VM space management? I don't hear of anyone else on the list actually using it. Mike Walter Hewitt Associates The opinions expressed herein are mine alone, not my employer's.
