Title: (Paraphrase problem in a
single statement)Remove 4GB limitation on
SAM-ESDS
Detailed
Problem Description: (Description of what you want changed - 400 character entry limit)
The limitation of 4GB has
become a problem. KSDS can now extend
to beyond 4GB using the XXL parameter.
This makes large sequential files required to be on regular DASD extents
and not in VSAM catalog space.

Justification: (Why? Non-technical
business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem
Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your
company, and the vendor and others?
Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc. Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)
Many sequential files can now be possible, for
instance, virtual tape backups or IDCAMS repros of XXL KSDS files. The 4GB limitation has become a stopping
point in using VSAM space for large sequential files necessitating the use of
regualr DASD extents, which is difficult for shops without a disk space
management system.
Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a
vendors ability to deliver a solution)
Ideally, this would apply to all
"ESDS" types but restricting to SAM-ESDS would be acceptable.
Impact: (Optional) (How
will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)
Continual workarounds cause inconsistency in
methodologies, resulting in more operations errors.
