Doug:

Any TSO pack is a mandatory larger VTOC and a larger VVDS.

A *LONG* time ago I had a TSO pack that needed a 5 cylinder vtoc. I don't expect that has changed and if SMS managed a larger than typical VVDS as well.

It's true, but I get alot of datasets in a small VTOC too. I can't actually recall ever having to allocate a VVDS except for a very special situation.

Somewhere along the line I though SMS datasets requires an entry for each one.

You have that many VSAM datsets on a volume?
10 tracks holds a fair amount of data for a VVDS.

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.
