To put it another way, if your program is using a program logical unit (a numbered SYS), STDOPT LINES= won't help. Thank you to Ron and Tom for your suggestions. The program on VSE is an Assembler utility writing to numbered SYS (I don't recall which right now). I was hoping for an easy

Hello list. In the past I have added several page volumes to several VM systems, never having updated the user known as $PAGE$ in user direct that appears to have the first Page volume in there. Since I am working fine right now, I am hesitant to add the second volume to this userid. I have

It's a 'place holder' only. The entry in $page$ is to ensure that the volume is shown as in use and note eligible for user minidisk. We name our page volumes VMPG01-99 so there use is obvious. A different naming convention could lead to confusion and thus the use of allocating the volume under

I use $PAGE$, $SPOOL$, $TDISK$, $DIRECT$, $SYSWRM$, $SYSCKP$, $ALLOC$, as placeholders so that I can have ALL of my DASD allocations listed in a directory map (DIRMAP or DISKMAP). This helps me not allocate a CMS minid isk on cylinder 0 of a volume or on top of one of the CP-used areas. This is

I use it as a place holder and central linking site. Since I run VM:Spool and it requires links to the page and spool volumes this is an easy place to find it. Otherwise, I use VM:Secure to mark them so they don't get used for something else by accident. Can't say about the doc. I have

I've used it as sort of a documentation tool and to also as a place holder. That way when you run DISKMAP or DIRMAP it shows up in the report and therefore you know the space has been allocated. Placing the mdisk statement in $PAGE$ in no way means that $PAGE$ will use it. Of course if you

Of course if you log on to $PAGE$ $PAGE$ and friends have NOLOG as passwaord, hence if you try to LOGON you get not in CP directory I'll send you a HTML document that explains how we use the $xxx$ users and other worthwile info. It starts with some theory, such as the use of CP's ALLOC map,
