Bleah.. and Yuck. NO NO NO.
What's the point of putting 1 file in a SFS if you can't share it anyway??? Put it on a minidisk. 1 cyl is fine. And maybe when I have SSI , I can actually share it. It's 7 4k blocks of config data. Maybe IBM was trying to save me the other 96% of a cylinder by putting it in SFS? The rest of the component is on minidisk...

What a hack. Works, but ... ick. "Hack"?!? That's what UCOMDIR/SCOMDIR were designed for and why CMS manages APPC the way it does. FIlepool references in CMS are, by design, symbolic destination names. If you don't have a COMDIR entry, you get the defaults (e.g. TPN = symbolic name). True, it's unusual, undesirable, annoying and a violation of all we hold sacred in computing (WYSI*N*WYG!), but ..... OK. it's a hack. ;-) Alan Altmark Senior Managing z/VM and Linux Consultant IBM System Lab Services and Training ibm.com/systems/services/labservices office: 607.429.3323 mobile; 607.321.7556 alan_altm...@us.ibm.com IBM Endicott
