----------------<snip>-----------------------
An issue has been raised about the "dummy" VTOC that DSF writes when you
format a CPVOLUME. It contains only a type 4 and type 5 DSCB. No
datasets. No free space.
------------------<unsnip>--------------------
This is as it should be.
----------------------<snip>----------------------
In your experience, is that sufficient for MVS to refuse to allocate
space on the volume? Or is the lack of type 1 DSCB that shows e.g.
SYS1.VMVOL occupying the whole volume an issue?
-----------------------<unsnip>--------------------
The format-5 DSCB shows that there's no free space on the volume; that's
enough for MVS to refuse any allocations on the volume.
