Hi Kurt,


based on John's hint I guessed that I could put something like:

DBDIAGLOGSIZE 100M

in my dsmserv.opt, and behold, now dsmserv format works.

Unfortunately, the db2 way doesn't work because dsmserv format tries to
update that dbm setting and at that time, db2 requires the diskspace to be
available.
