Jose, We offload the spool to a data set every night (then dump it to tape). Our data set looks like this: Data Set Name . . . : SYS3.JES2.OFFLOAD Volume serial . . . : SMF100 Device type . . . . : 3390 Organization . . . : PS Record format . . . : U Record length . . . : 0 Block size . . . . : 4042
We have it allocated with 30000 tracks (on a 3390 volume), no secondaries. According to the z/OS V1R4.0 JES2 Initialization and Tuning Guide: "If you pre-allocate a spool offload data set, JES2 always uses the following data set attributes:" "Undefined record format (RECFM=U)" "4042-byte block size (BLKSIZE=4042)." "If you specify different values for these attributes, JES2 ignores them." http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/has2a320/3.1.4.2. 3?SHELF=&DT=20020709131917 HTH, Greg Shirey Ben E.
