Re: problem with spool volume serial
No, I've just gave up. Now I'm thinking, how to convince people to cold start, in order to completely change the spool's volumes prefix (that would be better for our naming conventions). And if they won't agree, I will just cut the last letter from the prefix. D.

problem with spool volume serial
Hi, We have defined in SPOOLDEF 5 character prefix assigned to jes2's spool volumes. That gives me maximum 40 volumes according to JES2 Initialization and Tuning Reference book: IBM recommends that you limit the prefix to 4 characters (well...) only so that you are not restricted to a maximum of 40 volumes as is the case if you use a 5-character prefix which also limits the suffix to a single character (A-Z, 0-9, $, #, @, -). The problem is, that I've already defined 39 volumes with all available suffixes except '-' and now I'm trying to define the last one. Let's say that the spool volume prefix is 'SPOOL'; I defined volume 'SPOOL-' with HASPACE dataset but after issuing command $S SPOOL(SPOOL-),FORMAT,P I've got message : $HASP003 RC=(04), $HASP003 RC=(04),SPOOL(SPOOL-) - CONTAINS AN INVALID SUBSCRIPT Can anyone help? What I'm doing wrong? Or what have I missed?

Thanks, I thought about it. It would make some mess in our naming conventions, but that's some soultion.

Re: problem with spool volume serial
zos 1.4, but we plan migrating to 1.7. If you're right about the dash, I should start thinking about changing this prefix and prepare for cold :) But id doesn't change my current problem - what's wrong with dash in 1.4?

Just a wild guess, by have you tried:
$SSPL('SPOOL-'),FORMAT,P
?
Since the dash is a special character, perhaps the entire parameter must
be enclosed in tick marks?

Re: problem with spool volume serial
thanks, that will save me from cold...you can hear a sigh of relief now :) Dorota On Wed, 28 Jun 2006 15:33:42 -0400, Imbriale, Donald (Exchange) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I think it was a typo in the manual. The Summary of Changes section in the 1.5/1.6 manual suggests the change was effective with z/OS 1.1. I believe a cold start should not be needed. From the manual: Modification: Cold start. If originally specified with 5 characters and the fifth character is removed, then $T operator command is allowed. This last sentence is what should save you from a cold start.
