NO SPACE in DIRECTORY
Posted: Tue Aug 30, 2011 12:12 pm
When i saving data in a new member, i got error msg like 'NO SPACE in DIRECTORY'. Is there any way to expand my PDS size or compress existing data, so that i can save my data?

Try with FIXPDS tool available at CBTTAPE.ORG site which can increase the size of current PDS.

the best approach is to copy the current PDS to a new one with a larger number of directory blocks
and do a double rename
copy <current> to <new>
rename <current> to <bak>
rename <new> to <current>
after having checked that everything works ... delete <bak>
even if it is possible quite a few organization frown upon <in place> mangling of things
True, and you never have to "compress" it, but PDSE generally requires much more space than a corresponding PDS, and requires more CPU time to process.Pedro wrote:... For the new dataset, specify LIBRARY rather than PDS. This will create a PDSE, which does not have the same directory problems as a PDS.
