Tom et al, We were off Friday afternoon so I didn't get your e-mail until this morning. I had the same thoughts over the weekend and messing with it this morning, I discovered the problem. I had neglected to use the ALLD and ALLE parameters in my DFDSS job to copy the spool and checkpoint volumes. So DFDSS dutifully copied the pointers to "empty" datasets. I discovered this when a test of 1.13 produced the same catastrophic error. Testing again after adding these parms to my DFDSS COPY commands got me past the error and I now have z/OS 2.2 up and running on a warm start.
Thank you - again - everybody for your efforts at helping me get past this issue. Guessing I'm not going to forget this one!

I didn't notice, did you try to IPL z/OS 1.13 with the cloned spool? If so, were there any problems? -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN The information contained in this message is confidential, protected from disclosure and may be legally privileged.
