Thank you all for your input.
Unfortunately I do not have FDR on this system. That would be a very good
option (my problem is with files that have enqueues from active STCs, such
as a few CICS address spaces. And the next programmed IPL is still a long
way away... And this is a model 27 that on whi
If you have FDR they have a very safe way of extending the VTOC. I have done
it multiple times sometimes at 3 a.m.

The Extend VTOC is nice, but has one problem ... you could end up with your
VTOC in multiple extents.
I would back it up, empty the volume, and reinit.

I hope I'm only stating the obvious, but back the volume up before you do
anything.

In theory you can.
The VTOC has to be contiguous, so the area on the disk just passed to current
VTOC must be free.
If that is not the case, you will have to move the files that occupy that
space, or do it the old way, by emptying the dasd and reinitializing it with a
larger VTOC.
