Yes. Thanks to both of you for responding. I found the error of my
ways and did a $tspooldef and changed it to ALLOWED. Now I have
another question. Is there a command which I can use to cause a spool
volume to quit being used but redistribute what is on it to the
remaining spool volumes?

You can stop it from accepting new datasets by the $PSPOOL command, but
there's no command to remove its contents and distribute them to another
volume.
Sure would be nice, though.............
This type of thing would not be that hard to do with a User Written
Command. The simple way would be to scan the output (and input?)
queue to spot who is allocated on the Volume. The command can then
just set the job to be spool offloaded. This will clean off all but
executing (and pending execution) jobs. You then repopulate the
queues via Spool Reload. The "Better" way would be to read the data
and rewrite it freeing up the old allocation (Since doing this
correctly is so complex, the SPOOL OFFLOAD/RELOAD route is simpler
IMO).
As to doing the redistribute on-the-fly, I'd check the JES2 Mods tape
since I have the vague impression that I saw such a mod on it in the
past.
