Maybe fix the program to do a QUERY DASD DETAIL to find out how big the volume is? Yeah, you have to run it from an authorized id, but that shouldn't be an issue. The need for humans to tell the machine how big a disk is strikes me as cosmic humor. That's as funny as ... as ... as having a $1M computer ask you to look at at your $15 Mickey Mouse watch and tell it what time it is when you IPL it.
