But this looks interesting: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.idad400/pdse.htm#pdse To answer your particular question: https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.2.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r2.idad400/asil.htm [quote] This topic shows how to use the SPACE JCL keyword to allocate primary and secondary storage space amounts for a PDSE. The PDSE directory can extend into secondary space. A PDSE can have a maximum of 123 extents. A PDSE cannot extend beyond one volume. Note that a fragmented volume might use up extents more quickly because you get less space with each extent. With a SPACE=(CYL,(1,1,1)) specification, the data set can extend to 123 cylinders (if space is available). [quote] -- Heisenberg may have been here.
