1. Drain the pack via command 2. List it as a draining device in SYSTEM CONFIG. 3. Grab SPOOLCHN from the IBM Download site. It is dependent on another package that is also there. 4. Run it to determine what files have blocks located on the pack. 5. SPXTAPE DUMP the indicated files with the PURGE option. 6. SPXTAPE LOAD the files from the previous step.
If all files on the disk are ordinary spool files, the pack will be drained after the dump. If there are DCSS or NSS files, it will not be drained until after folks are convinced to re-ipl or log off. Once it is drained, feel free to molest it any way you desire.

I believe I know what the problem is, but I don't know how to fix it. 1) Added new CP_OWNED pack last week 2) ICKDSF LABELed the pack instead of FORMATing the pack 3) SPOOL system started using area allocated I need to: 1) Quiese (can't remember the command) the volume 2) Determine what was placed in this area 3) Remove spool references to files contained within 4) Format the SPOOL area 5) Bring area back up for SPOOL usage Frank M.
