Why do you say this? <quote> Up to 253 volumes can be designated as spool volumes. Spool volumes are identified to JES2 by a volume serial number, the first four or five characters of which are specified by the VOLUME= parameter on the SPOOLDEF statement during JES2 initialization. The first four or five characters specifying the volume serial number of each volume must be identical to the characters specified by the VOLUME= parameter. The fifth and sixth characters can be assigned to designate individual spool volumes and can be any characters that are valid in a volume serial number. </quote> http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/HAS2A390/3.1.1.1 And, weird as it sounds, I somehow had a VSAM cluster extend to more than 59 volumes. But, once that step finished, th cluster could not be allocated. Got a JCL error! And couldn't do an IDCAMS DELETE either. I had to do a DELETE NOSCRATCH, then individual DELETE VVR commands. > > Also, what do you do with multiple sysres? > Multiple parm/lpa/load libs? > > Since they all have the same name, they cannot all be catalogued! > - > Ted MacNEIL > eamacn...@yahoo.ca > Twitter: @TedMacNEIL > -- John McKown Maranatha! <>< ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
