To put a fine point on it (ouch!): The slot number is encoded in the data structures CP uses to find and read spool files. It's an index into the CP-owned list. Once spool files are created on a spool volume, don't change the slot number. If you ever find yourself needing to change the slot numbers you will need to 1. dump the spool to tape, 2. change the slot numbers in SYSTEM CONFIG 3. re-IPL clean 4. reload the spool files. If you can internalize this design point in CP, managing the CP-owned list becomes a *bit* more intuitive. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
