Hello Kris,
DIRMAP part of the CMS Utilities Feature 1.1, along with FLIST, WAKEUP, VMSIZE, USERID, SFPURGER, and the others.

I tell over and over again: forget about DISKMAP, use DISKMAP instead. DIRMAP used to be billable (part of IPF, later CUF), so the poor-man's solution, DISKMAP EXEC, was created. I've got a document describing differences in more details , and I give some hints about how to manage the CP Directory (like a FULLPACK user with an MDISK for every disk. 2010/10/4 Scott Rohling <[email protected]> Because the DISKMAP utility is unaware of the size of the 'real' disk - so END is meaningless to it. I always encourage folks to not use END except under specific circumstances. If there is a reason other than laziness to specify END -- then use it. Otherwise, list the number of cylinders specifically. Oh - and it can pose a danger if you rely on DISKMAP to tell you what is already allocated and these disks don't show up. You might want to try DIRMAINT FREE and DIRMAINT USED commands instead of DISKMAP.

What is the reason for this? Does this pose a danger when updating the directory directly, no pun intended? :-) Ray Waters <[email protected]> Sent by: The IBM z/VM Operating System <[email protected]> Kris Buelens
