The entries for $PAGE$ $SPOOL$ are place holders so DIRMaint
won't accidentally allocate space on these volumes and so that a DIRMap will
show the space as used. I would update the $PAGE$ and $SPOOL$ entries to
reflect the correct usage.

Hi, George.
Yes, this is how it should be.kinda:-)
The $PAGE$ and $SPOOL$ user ids in the USER DIRECT file are
place-holders where you can (if you want to) list your PAGE and SPOOL
areas. That way, the page and spool areas will appear in such reports as
produced by DIRMAP and DISKMAP. In
Perhaps others can expound upon the 'why' of these users in the directory --
but they bear no relationship to the actual paging or spool space in use by
the system.I consider them 'place holder' users which you can use to
define overlay minidisks for your system volumes. One reason I can

As others have mentioned, they are placeholders to prevent directory
managment software from allocating minidisks on them.
What I also noticed was that your PAGE space is a mix of DASD sizes.
Check out the recent thread discussing the pitfalls of doing so. You
might want to fix that on your
tyvm for this heads up.
