The COMMAND=(FORMAT) part of the display indicates that someone
previously issued a $S SPL command with the format operand and that the
formatting has not completed.The fact that the volume is also marked
active seems to indicate that the command was issued probably by mistake
while the volume was already active. I've never seen a format take more
than a couple of hours.
I think you need to drain the volume, determine which jobs are still on
it ($D JOB can do this), do something appropriate with those jobs, halt
the volume, and finally (re)start the volume cleanly.

Subject: $HASP893 STATUS=ACTIVE,COMMAND=(FORMAT)
Hello everyone,
I have a question regarding JES2 and spool packs. This morning when I
was reviewing spool space because it was filling up over the weekend. I
received the following back on the console when doing a $D SPOOL
command. I am currently running OS/390 R2.10
$D SPOOL
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL001) STATUS=ACTIVE,PERCENT=69
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL002) STATUS=ACTIVE,PERCENT=68
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL003) STATUS=ACTIVE,PERCENT=68
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL004) STATUS=ACTIVE,PERCENT=68
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL005) 173
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL005) STATUS=ACTIVE,COMMAND=(FORMAT),
$HASP893 PERCENT=68
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL006) STATUS=ACTIVE,PERCENT=69
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL008) STATUS=ACTIVE,PERCENT=68
$HASP893 VOLUME(SPL007) STATUS=ACTIVE,PERCENT=68
$HASP646 68.8112 PERCENT SPOOL UTILIZATION
My question is with SPL005 it states that it is active and awaiting a
FORMAT command, Do I drain the volume and the pack and it will format
itself or is there
something else that needs to be done.
I have looked back over the past SYSLOG and it has apparently been that
way for sometime, not sure how it got that way.
