How to Modify the Amount of Space in a PSS Spool File

The PSS spool file, ADROUT, is a VLS file. The name length (NAMELEN) must be defined as 11 for ADROUT. Use the following procedure to modify the size of ADROUT:

  1. End all processing activity against ADROUT.
  2. Use the VLSUTIL BACKUP function to create a backup VLS file in sequential form. The backup file has a ddname of VLSBKUP.
  3. Allocate a new VLS file. Specify the amount of space it requires.
  4. Use the VLSUTIL FORMAT function to format a new VLS file. NAMELEN has a required value of 11.
  5. Use the SCPSUTIL INIT function to initialize ADROUT.
  6. Use the VLSUTIL RESTORE function to restore the library. Use VLSBKUP as input.
  7. Recycle CICS.
