I use it as a place holder and central linking site. Since I run VM:Spool and it requires links to the page and spool volumes this is an easy place to find it. Otherwise, I use VM:Secure to mark them so they don't get used for something else by accident. Can't say about the doc. I have formatted, allocated, added to SYSTEM CONFIG and IPL'd. Or dug into the Commands Reference when I couldn't IPL. Don't think I found a Step 1, 2, 3 to do it though. Bob Bates Citigroup Technology Infrastructure 817-317-8033

In the past I have added several page volumes to several VM systems, never having updated the user known as $PAGE$ in user direct that appears to have the first Page volume in there. Since I am working fine right now, I am hesitant to add the second volume to this userid. I have searched the manuals and only find $PAGE$ in Running Guest Operating Systems and that as part of a user direct listing. So my question is, what is the benefit from having my page volumes in this userid. I guess a second question would be, where is 'adding a page volume' documented? I only found it in the cookbook. Thanks! Mary Anne
