Zero space allocation is perfectly valid. As is SPACE (0,1) also. The result is just as requested. In either case, the data set exists in the VTOC but takes up no space on disk. The data set is treated as 'real', including GRS enqueue. Hence it can be used like any other exclusively held data

Mr. Gilmore, You are so out of line on this that it is pathetic. For me to try to discover if there is some way to influence memory allocation is a reasonable approach to writing code. The fewer the number of times my code runs thru allocation, the better it will perform. CPOOL

Mr. Day, I agree that further exchanges between us would not be useful: your judgment that you can learn nothing from me is almost certainly correct. I shall not comment on one of your posts again. --jg On 8/25/12, Dave Day david...@consolidated.net wrote: Mr. Gilmore, You are so out
