Strictly speaking, that's true. Just a plain old ICKDSF INIT is
enough. 25+ years ago, however, I learned that MVS looks at a volume
such as that, however, and says "Wow! The Format ? DSCB that controls
space allocation for MVS does not say that space is used on this volume,
therefore it's all available." MVS may not say that in so many words,
but ICKDSF CPVOL INIT or CPFMTXA, which is just an ICKDSF CPVOL front
end, does make the volume look like it's 100% full at least to MVS.

I wouldn't think that you would not have to CPFMTXA every volume. Only
the CPOWNED volumes need to be CMFMTXA'd.
WOW! Two negatives in that statement. I'm not sure what that implies.
Anyway, what I meant was that you only have to CPFMTXA volumes that are=20=
CPOWNED.
