I think the original msg. was inquiring about a version of DSF which didn't have to be IPL'ed. i.e. execute as a normal CMS command. I've never come across such a program, though Scotty

Why does IPL'ing a great pain ? It is very easy to format disks for VSAM by IPL DSF. We have an IPL'able DSF release 8 and we use it to format disk packages and VSAM. Do you use an extra file to define DSF parameters for formatting the disk ? What is your problem ? Please send more information to me or to this list. Regards /tt
