Did that. It shows $ALLOC$(0,0) as an overlap, and MAINT and SYSDUMP1(0,10016) as an overlap, and .DRCT.(1,20) as an overlap. The rest of the disks are not flagged. However, where I defined the other disks on the first-level system, they show a gap the size of the disk. 510RES should show a gap following the last defined minidisk, but does not.
Found the problem while I was typing this. In the :EXCLUDES. Section, the doc says that an address can be one to four digits. But later, it says that address represents the LEFT-MOST digits of an address. A trailing asterisk, OR SPECIFICATION OF LESS THAN FOUR DIGITS implies that all addresses starting with the specified are considered excluded. Everywhere else in the system, an address can be specified by its significant digits. One take on this is that I should have read further. (which is true...) But another take could be that common usage should have been followed, especially when the asterisk is allowed in the syntax anyway, so a three digit address wouldn't be ambiguous. Changing the excluded address from 123 to 0123 solved the problem. Personally, I think that's fairly tacky, but then the tackiness is documented, so I guess I don't really have a valid complaint.... Sorry to bother everyone. Back to work... -- Robert P.
