Hold the presses! The documents for v1r13 say the VVDSSIZE defaults to TRKS(10 10). Holy cow, that's a whole lot less than 10 cylinders.
One would think that at 10 tracks, the VVDS would run out of space (and extents) quite frequently but I don't see this being a frequent topic on IBM-MAIN. David G.

Schlecht Sent: Thursday, February 06, 2014 9:22 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Implicit VVDS creation Does anyone still build VVDS datasets explicitly when initializing volumes? I understand that the default allocation for a new VVDS is CYLS(10 10) which saves me from having to rebuild the VVDS if it fills up. What is everyone else doing with VVDS datasets? Is there still a valid argument for building them explicitly? David G.
