Re: SMS and DFDSS



SAS supports DSNTYPE=LARGE for both libnames and filenames starting in
9.2. According to a user group paper, "A single SAS Library can now be up
to 54GB on a single volume, and up to 2.9TB in a multivolume library."

There is some DSNTYPE=LARGE support in 9.1.3 with a hotfix.

Re: [IBM-MAIN] SMS and DFDSS





Right. I believe SAS files still have the 65k track limitation per
volume. And I don't think they support large format either.

Bob,

I believe you cannot add or change a dataclass to an existing
dataset.
The dataset must be reallocated new.

Hi Terry,

Yes, it appears that DFDSS won't allow it. DMS (CA-Disk) does
support this, but the test I did resulted in dataset that SAS/ITRM
didn't like.

I'm getting a bit cranky with SAS at this point. They've told us
they support EF datasets, but when we called today we got a different
answer. Grrr. There, I feel better now.

Thanks!
Bob Lester
