SPOOL Data Sets

The name of a data set used for spooling is specified in the SPOOLDS initialization statement. The default spool data set name is SYS1.ESFSPOOL.

Notes:

• Multiple spool data sets on one volume are supported.
• 3390-9 DASD and 3390-A DASD are supported.
• DSNTYPE=LARGE spool data set supported to allow spool data sets with up to 1,048,575 tracks (69,905 cylinders).
• You can add new spool data sets to a running CA Spool system. No format start is required; simply specify the new spool data sets in ESFPARM and perform a REINIT.
• Added spool data sets are automatically formatted during REINIT. Multiple spool data sets are formatted in parallel.
