A month or so ago the issue of Type1 versus Type2 PDSEs was brought to the attention of this board in terms of space reuse and performance, etc. etc.
Personally, I'm sold on using PDSE Type 2 but now the question:
I have an installation that just migrated to PDSE Type 1 that involves a large number of datasets. Is it worth the effort to (re)convert them all to PDSE Type 2? If yes, where should we look to see benefits? The tests run to-date show marginal if any benefits but I'm not convinced we're looking in the right places for those benefits.
Alternatively, a re-engineering effort is going to be re-allocating those datasets "in the future" with "in the future" dates yet to be determined as there are a variety of other changes taking place at that time as well.
Would you wait till the re-engineering effort (long-term) or convert them "now"?
Your opinion is of great interest!
