Hello,

we use ADSM 3.1 on MVS 5.2, the bypass zap for the reclamation problem
has been applied.

No serious problem at the moment, reclamation runs every day. We are
waiting on the definitive code from IBM in order to improve the
reclamation process (freeing internal logical space in aggregates on
cartridges).

Regards,

Rene Lambelet, Nestle, VEVEY
