Hi Vema,

To recover the dataset which you deleted, try the following command..

Theres is no way of increasing space of a dataset once its allocated. But you can compress a dataset. Also you can copy it to a bigger dataset!
Also Hrecover works only if you have a backup of a dataset.
Correct me if I am wrong..

1.If there is no backup for the dataset it may be possible to recover from a volume dump (just dont type in gen(0000))

2.I too got fed up with running out of space in my datasets so created a job that all you have to do is type in the dataset name and using temp d/s's would copy into a larger d/s of the same name (see attachment)

There is no way to increase the space with any TSO command... First way is to compress it by typing Z infront of the PDS name... or creating a new PDS with more space and copying all the members in the new PDS.... Or Philepeo's job can help..

CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG...

We have PDSFAST Utility which can be used to increae the space allocated to PDS.

I guess theres no way to increase the space using TSO command.

Hi,

We have utilities that can help us in this regard.
For example: EZYEDIT of PDSMAN can increase or
decrease the no of directory blocks using ALTERDIR command.

Raveendra.
