Not that I've ever heard of other than completely deleting/re-allocating it, but maybe your Storage Management team specialists will know for sure.

only thing i can suggest is create a new DS copy the data into it. delete old one.
change the name of new DS.

At the top of my head, I can think of using sort with same DSN for sortin/sortout - in sortout re-define the DCB-parameters of your choice...hopefully it should work.

alter is the command where we can allocate space if already space is allocated for pds
