VSAM Freespace - If no initial load???????

Hi Folks,
I've used VSAM for years and have a pretty good understanding of the way
the CISZ and buffering need to be adjusted depending on the method used to
access the file.
Every file I've had to play with has always had an initial load so enforcing
FSPC hasn't been a problem. I'm now working with an application that doesn't
appear to do an initial load. These are Journal files that are being used by an
application within a CICS region. As I'm not a CICS guy, I'm told that these
files are dynamically allocated and, as they are using a ring-of-files concept,
don't ever get an initial load. Each Journal file will be active for 1 day, then
remain as archive until day 6 when they are emptied and rotated round for use
on day 7.
If this is the case (please jump in CICS guys if I've been steered down a cul-
de-sac) how is it possible to enforce freespace? The file in question is writing
5000 records with 2000 of these records as inserts. Without FSPC, I can't
control the CI/CA splits as well as I'd like.
As always, pointing me towards the right manual will be just as helpful as a
concise answer........
Thanks for any/all help,
JJ
