Hi all

The DISKMAP is great.

We init our DASD as the following IBM recommended options 

DEVICE     VTOC      INDEX
 -- ------     -------   -------
  3390-1      0,1,0029  02,0,006
  3390-2      0,1,0059  04,0,012
  3390-3      0,1,0074  05,0,015
  3390-9      0,1,0224  15,0,045
  3390-27    0,1,0672  45,0,135
  3390-54    0,1,1344  90,0,270


The VTOC index always follow the VTOC

Does it mean there isn't any free space available following the current 
location of the  VTOC?

Thanks a lot!

Best Regards,

Jason Cai

Subject: VTOC extended
 
Hi all 
 
The size of VTOC is smaller,we want to extend VTOC using the following JCL .
 
// EXEC PGM=ICKDSF
//DD1 DD DISP=SHR,UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=xxxxxx //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A //SYSIN DD * 
REFORMAT DDNAME(DD1) VERIFY(xxxxxx) EXTVTOC(30) EXTINDEX(15) 
 
  Run REFORMAT EXTVTOC(n) where 'n' is the total size of the  new VTOC in 
tracks. There must be free space available to   allow for contiguous expansion 
of the VTOC.  If there isn't    free space available following the current 
location of the  VTOC, 
an error message will be issued. 'n' must be greater  than the old VTOC size. 
 
   Before running REFORMAT EXTVTOC(n),is there any utility or REXX t which 
could tell whether there is any free space available following the current 
location of the  VTOC?
 
Thanks a lot! 
 
Best Regards,
