On another note, remember that it is most likely that the IOCDS is created by the z/OS folks. You will take what we give you and like it <grin>. As as paranoid z/OS type, I am not comfortable with allowing what is basically unrestricted access to all DASD volumes. Using dynamic IODF / IOCDS, it should not really be a "big deal" to add a new DASD address to a given LPAR. Unless the z/OS people are being a**-holes. In that case, present it as: "We need quick access to new DASD. Either give access to all DASD so that we can manage it, or do updates in a timely manner and you can manage it." Given only those two options, I would do the dynamic IOCDS. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
