I use $PAGE$, $SPOOL$, $TDISK$, $DIRECT$, $SYSWRM$, $SYSCKP$, $ALLOC$, as placeholders so that I can have ALL of my DASD allocations listed in a directory map (DIRMAP or DISKMAP). This helps me not allocate a CMS minid isk on cylinder 0 of a volume or on top of one of the CP-used areas. This is less likely now-a-days because of the recommendations to use full volumes
for PAGE, SPOOL, etc allocations, but DRCT, WARM, CKPT are still small ar eas on sysres that might in a rush housekeeping exercise get forgotten. /Tom Kern /301-903-2211 On Tue, 27 Mar 2007 11:58:37 -0400, Mary Anne Matyaz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >Hello list.
