I agree with this monitoring approach: we run reporting on critical PDSs weekly and if a PDS comes to 80% full threshold, either space or directory, we check its past and usually conclude that it should be enlarged.

Back in a previous engagement I was a rather mediocre and patently lazy sysprog. When a PDS ran out of space it was my clue that the original allocation was too small. Solution, make it bigger! An old friend priest once was asked the meaning of his congregation nodding off during Sunday mass. His reply "it's God's way of telling you that you need more sleep." Product schmoducts, you need more allocation. On 1/29/2013 8:34 AM, Staller, Allan wrote: > These days, why spend the money for PMO.
