Just to satisfy my own curiosity, I do you plan to fit 650 datasets, each a minimum of 1,500 cylinders, on a volume with only 10,000 cylinders? How will you even get more than 6? A 3390 will fit 53 DSCBs per track. 29 tracks will hold 1537 DSCBs, slightly more than twice what you expect. ISPF

The first 3 extents fit in the Format-1 DSCB. The next 13 fit in the Format-3 DSCB. What is the third DSCB you think is needed? You can still fit only 6 1500 cylinder datasets on a 10,000 cylinder device. Even if a third DSCB is needed, you still need only 18 DSCBs which will fit is a single

I believe ISMF shows the status in the SCDS while the D command shows the status in the ACDS. VARY commands update the ACDS but you need to manually update the SCDS if you want the change to be reflected in the next ACTIVATE. :: -Original Message- :: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List
