A few more words about data spaces: - mapping them to mdisks is optional. It's useful only as a way to prime or save the space's content. - they have no CMS content in them so you get the whole space and are insulated from the vaguaries of CMS memory layouts. - you can control how much memory is consumed by data spaces on a per-user basis via XCONFIG in the directory - a user can have more than one data space. It might be useful to allocate data spaces in, say, 128MB increments. This way only the users who have the largest tables consume the most memory. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
