Well, I should have been more specific. I don’t see a way to make it bigger either, but in this case Lizette said it was already 200 cylinders. DFDSS copy could create a new one 200 cylinders large, with very few extents, and my next move would have been to do a ZFSADM grow immediately to get it to the desired size. I personally try to avoid any of the copytree "stuff" or just a brute force mv where possible, just due to the essence of time.

I still prefer allocating a new linear vsam file large enough and REPRO the old to the new, and mount that file at /u/userid/tmp and see if it contains all the data you expect to be there, I've done this with a vendor's ZFS file that was created incorrectly . ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Jousma" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, March 3, 2017 12:40:09 PM Subject: Re: Can you use IDCAMS REPRO on zFS files Ok, well in that case, I'd just DFDSS copy it. In fact, if you can unmount it first you can copy it, and have DSS rename it back to the original name all in one operation, then just remount it. //STEP1 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=8M //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * COPY DS(INC(your.zfs)) - ALLDATA(*) - SPHERE - DELETE - ALLX - CATALOG - PURGE _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Manager Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President [email protected] 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Friday, March 03, 2017 1:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Can you use IDCAMS REPRO on zFS files So the file was allocated at 1,1 CYL. It is now at 200Cyls. And 200 extents. I like to resize the space allocation so it does not have to do EXTEND - FORMAT EXTEND - FORMAT EXTEND - FORMAT Dozens of times and possibly impacting the performance for the user.
