My SPOOL volumes do NOT have a VTOCIX on them. The VTOC is cylinder 0 (minus track 0, of course). The rest of the volume is the SPOOL dataset. Absolutely no need for a VTOCIX. The same would be true of any non-SMS volume which is designed to have a minimal number of permenantly allocated datasets. OK, OK, so a 1 cylinder VTOCIX or even a VTOC+VTOCIX taking up cylinder 0 only would work too. I just don't bother. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
