Rob, CP prevents LINKing to minidisks overlapping its areas for at least some of them, I think PAGE and SPOL are protected. I did test this again a while ago, and some area are not protected, maybe WARM and CKPT areas. Another warning: some people do think they could format a CP area by LINKing to a minidisk that is defined to map exactly the CP area (e.g. a $PAGE$ xxxx minidisk). This is no good. The areas must be formatted with the access to the fullpack, either ATTACHed, either a fullpack minidisk. -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
