Not exactly.  Changing the contents of the CP_OWNED statement, including
deletion, affects only that statement.  But that's not as simple as it
might appear.

Spool files can span CP_OWNED volumes, so if CP needs to fetch the next
record for the spool file by going to the volume at slot 'n', and there
isn't a slot 'n', or it's a different volume so the needed record isn't
there, you lose the spool file.

Deleting the statement for slot 'n' doesn't automatically affect any
other CP_OWNED volume, but can affect all your spool files, and could
mean that you have no object directory.

A word of caution, however.  Don't just delete that line in the CP-Owned
list in SYSTEM CONFIG, especially if there is a volume later in the list
that contains SPOOL space.  You would lose all the spool files in the
later volume.  Just change the volid in that slot in the CP-Owned list
to Reserved, rather than removing the slot.
