How to Expand the PSS Spool File Directory

The following procedure lets you expand the spool file directory to increase the maximum number of print files that can be stored in ADROUT. This procedure does not require a PSSUTIL INIT function and, thus, does not destroy data in existing spool files.

1. End all processing activity against ADROUT. Close all CICS FCT entries for ADROUT and specify DISP=OLD on the DD for ADROUT in the SCPSUTIL JCL.
2. Use the SCPSUTIL EXPANDDIR function to expand the spool file directory.

   The SCPSUTIL EXPANDDIR must have exclusive control of ADROUT. Be sure that there are no CICS or batch jobs accessing ADROUT at the time of the EXPANDDIR job is executing.
