Re: Adding PAGE area

Title: Message

Hello Jim,         Thanks for your patience.  I appreciate your knowledge.   I am just not getting it. I understand that if I have a new volume, I can add that at the end ‘right now’.         ATT xxx system  after I have done the format.         430W03 is at the end,  has PERM (all do), TDSK (not being used), and SPOOL (being used).          I want to add PAGE in an area that is not used but marked as PERM.  If I do the CPFMTXA Does the volume become unusable (bad), or does PAGE space become available (BEST), or does the PAGE area become available only after IPL (livable)?         As with most everyone, IPL of the z/VM system is very hard and we get short periods of time.         Again, thanks for letting me run these questions past you.   Ed Martin Aultman Health Foundation 330-588-4723 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ext. 40441 From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stracka, James (GTI) Sent: Thursday, June 08, 2006 11:58 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: Re: Adding PAGE area   If you add it to an active page volume, it will not be usable until you IPL. -----Original Message----- From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Edward M.
