We create as much 3390-54's as possible. We have some smaller volumes only because they were converted as is from ESS's. And we have some 3390-3 and 3390-1 for JES checkpoint and catalogs, but with the current GDPS requirement to eliminate all Reserves, I think it would not be a problem to combine them. On the other hand, how much space will be wasted in your xx TB dasd park when you have a handful of 3390-54's filled for 1%?

For example, will we create any problems if we assume that "everyone" has or can define at least a 3390-9 size volume these days? What if we chose 3390-27? -- John Eells IBM Poughkeepsie ee...@us.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ******************************************************** For information, services and offers, please visit our web site: http://www.klm.com.
