Examples

The following examples demonstrate circumstances in which user IDs can select scratch pools:

Any user ID beginning with SYS can select from the TEST, PROD, or OFFSITE pools. The default pool is TEST because it appears first. All other user IDs default to and are required to use PROD pool tapes:
```
DSN=*,JOB=SYS*,POOL=TEST
DSN=*,JOB=SYS*,POOL=PROD
DSN=*,JOB=SYS*,POOL=OFFSITE
DSN=*,JOB=*,POOL=PROD
```
User SYS01’s requests for scratch tapes come from the PROD pool. All other users’ requests come from the TEST pool:
```
DSN=*,JOB=*,POOL=TEST
DSN=*,JOB=SYS01,POOL=PROD
```
