Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: concatenated SMPPTS datasets
Classification: Confidential True, But SMPE does not maintain the location of the PTfs in the spill datasets. They can be copied (at will) between any of the spill datasets. So start with SMPPTSn and copy all PTFs to SMPPTS1 (that will fit). Repeat as needed until SMPPTSn is empty. It can then be removed.

Once you create them you have to keep them in sequence with no gaps. For example if you end up with SMPPTS1-4 (in addition to SMPPTS), and you later notice that SMPPTS2 is empty, don't just delete it. SMP/E stops looking for additional spill datasets once one is missing. So if you delete SMPPTS2, SMP/E won't even look at datasets 3 and 4.

Re: concatenated SMPPTS datasets
Bill, SMPe allows 99 PTS datasets. I rarely add them in the JCL - adding them to the DDDEFs in the global CSI keeps everyone on the same page.

Re: concatenated SMPPTS datasets
Hi Bill, Create a DDDEF/Dataset for SMPPTS1, SMPPTS2 etc. Be sure to add the DDDEFs to the Global, Target and DLIB Zones.
