In my personal opinion that having SPOOL and PAGE areas on the same
device is not a good thing to do. while you can allocate DASD space in
such a manner, my rule of thumb is to always put SPOOL and PAGE areas on
their own dedicated devices.
Hope this helps some.

1- Dedicate a whole new DASD to paging (paging and spool involve

Can I format the new volume to have 2000 cylinder of paging and
1339 cylinders of spool?
I mean I can do it but is it a good idea?
I would deallocate the paging from 430RES/430W03 but add the
430W04 (new volume) at the end of the cpvolumes to for spooling.
I was not planning on doing a cold drain but that may happen.
I will have a SPXTAPE DUMP 580 SPOOL done right before shutdown,
and earlier.
I would like you all to know that I do appreciate your help.
I am worried because I can not find the cause of the problem.
Unknown issues are very dangerous.
