Where xxx is one of: • ‘hh:mm’ – Spin data set at specified time • ‘+hh:mm’ – Spin data set at interval specified • nnn [K|M] – Spin every nnn records • NOCMD – Cannot spin data set by command (current processing) • CMDONLY – Spin only when a command is issued (default) This is also supported in dynamic allocation and TSO ALLOC For the cmdonly option you can issue the JES2 command: $T JQ(xxx),SPIN,DDNAME=ddname – command can spin data set on demand – If you omit DDNAME= all active spin data sets will be spun for that job Gary Puchkoff - IBM ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
