We are a pretty small shop and don't print anything that massive. We have only 4 3390 (33K tracks each) spool packs.
IDCAMS has features to limit the number of input records processed and to skip a quantity of records before starting to process them. -----Original Message----- From: Bonno, Tuco [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 06, 2006 7:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: AFP: spool packs, usg, utilities we run a z/os 1.4 shop, soon to be 1.7. we are an AFP print shop. "management" has asked me to survey the ibm-main listserver community for the following info: (1) if you are an AFP print shop, how many 3390 volumes do you have assigned to your jes spool? (2) is there in existence any 3rd party software/products/utility(ies) which could be used to allow a print job to be segmented to the spool in increments? (here"s the scenario: a batch job writes 50M pages to tape, the tapes are fed to this hypothetical utility, which in turn would bring in pages 1 - 250,000 to the spool for printing via AFP ; after they are purged, then pages 250,001 - 500,000 etc etc etc ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
