How can we increase the size of an existing PDS to include
more no. of modules.
I tried the answer posted by Jagan(TSO PDS 'pds name') but
did not find it working.
The answer posted by kamal i know very well.
Please suggest me a answer so that we don't need to delete
the existing PDS and still we can change the size as well.

Answer Posted / shailendra

i donn't think if we compress the pds, its mean we are
increasing the size of pds. our first requirment is to
increase the pds size... and it is not possible. i think
you can you can apply the below logic. first create another
pds with same properties with existing and increase the
value of primary, scondary and directory block value in
space parameter. and just copy all the member in newly
created pds, delete the previous and rename the new pds
with old name.
