I know this ounds very basic but you an always rename your old datasets and create datasets with same name and increased space as required and copy the renamed ones back the new ones.

Hi

You can compress the dataset by giving z besides the dataset

Eg

z xxx.mysampe.dataset

Hi expat

We can compress only a PDS and not a PS. If we try to compress the PS dataset then we will end up with a message dataset not partitioned

Hope i am correct!!

That is correct, and from what the OP had said, the dataset was a PS dataset.

OP confused us by giving title "How increase the space in PDS"
and in question mentioning PS.

But I guess SB37 can occur with PS and SE37 occurs with PDS. So expat's solution is best suited here.
