The format 1 dscb has a DS1LSTAR field ... last used track&block. Is that what you meant? I would not have thought that setting it to 0 would indicate that the volume was full. Anyway ... looked through code and it gets initialized to zero but doesn't seem to ever get changed or used by any of the tools or dasd drvr code. >However, the bottom line is the same - beware of IXFP >DDSR from MVS against a Linux CDL volume, especially >prior to SP3 and other distributions, depending on >their level. Gotcha. -Don
