The following is from the Jes2 Initialization and Tuning Reference as of Zos V1R4
SPOOLNUM=nnn|32 Specifies the maximum number (1-253, rounded up to a multiple of 32 or 253) of spool volumes which can be defined at any one time to a multi-access spool complex. Spool volumes are defined by either use of the VOLUME= parameter on this initialization statement during a JES2 cold start, or they can be defined by using the $S SPL (start spool) operator command. This parameter can be increased with a $T SPOOLDEF command after an $ACTIVATE command has been issued in the MAS. -----Original Message----- From: McKown, John [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 3:12 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: RES: JES2 SPOOLDEF > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted MacNEIL > Sent: Friday, August 18, 2006 2:01 PM > To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU > Subject: Re: RES: JES2 SPOOLDEF > > > >SPOOLNUM=64 > > Considering you can only get 59 volumes on a multi-volume dataset 64 > doesn't make sense. > When in doubt. > PANIC!! > Hum, I am aware of the limit. However, HASPACE is not really a multi-volume dataset. It is a "thing" which is composed of multiple datasets with the same name which reside on separate volumes. But that is not the same. I don't know how JES2 does its OPEN on the HASPACE datasets. But if it opens each volume as a separate dataset, then the 59 volume limit does not apply. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
