It depends.... :) By *NOMAX you're saying that there's no upper limit on the number of records the file can hold. Keep in mind tha this is a safety valve that keeps you from having a runaway program (not that anyone on this list would write one) from going ape and taking your DASD to 100+% and crashing your system... Trust me, restoring from a 100% DASD box can be a full restore...sometimes you'll get lucky and a IPL will clear enough work space that you can clr/dlt the offending space and come up normally... But, in terms of space, performance, etc.,.... No disadvantages taht I'm aware of....
