Not exactly. Any filepool that does not start with VMSYS is eligible to be made global, but it doesn't have to be. You have to specify REMOTE in the DMSPARMS file before it becomes global. Without that, it is local.
You think that IBM would not allow user created filepools that are local? Have you been borrowing cough syrup from Adam again? Adam, check your supply.
