PM65321: TOO MUCH SPACE ALLOCATED FOR INDEX DATASETS USING VOLALLO PARM

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• REORG DBD(NNASEQDB) ICEIN(ICEIN) VOLALLO(1,1140,1140) this is a
  single volume allocation prim=1140, sec=1140 cyls.
  This parameter should only apply to the OSAM or VSAM
  Primary/Secondary allocation of the A dataset - Not the x
  dataset. The X datasets do not need to be allocated as large as
  the A datasets. Here is part of the JOBLOG:
  HRF01000I    ALLOCATE    -
  HRF01000I            DATASET('DBCT.IMS.NNASEQDB.S.A00001')  -

  intended.

  HRF01000I CYLINDERS(1140,1140) - this is way over allocated for
  an X dataset. VOLALLO should not override the original
  allocation.

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: VOLALLO parameter should not affect the *
  *                      space allocation for index datasets     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When VOLALLO parameter is specified, the space allocation is
  overridden not only for the database datasets but also for the
  index datasets.
  

Problem conclusion

• When reorganizing a database with VOLALLO parameter specified,
  ORF will not override the space allocation of index datasets.
  Only the allocation of database datasets will be overridden.
  

Temporary fix
