They cannot be initialized before reading the CONFIG file because it is possible to have different sysown lists in different files.

Will using the "DEVICE ONLINE"/"DEVICE OFFLINE" statement in SYSTEM CONFIG prevent that from occuring? Or are spool/page initialized before SYSTEM CONFIG is read? Thanks, Chris
