Re: Format the linkage stack from an SDUMP issued in SRB mode

I didn't see an obvious way to format the linkage stack for an SRB. Neither SUMM FORMAT nor 2.2 did the job. Eventually I browsed the storage using CR15. Not sure if you're asking for this: ip cbf x str(lse) with x the linkage stack entry address. IIRC, there are similar str(yyy) values for

That is correct, although by setting the high threshold so low, you prevent SMS from determining target volumes by activity. What did you hope to accomplish with a high threshold setting of 20%? -Original Message- From: John Dawes [mailto:jhn_da...@yahoo.com.au] Sent: Wednesday, March

I stumbled on to this by accident.  The person who had set up the Storage Group wanted to keep the pool at 20% full i.e. migrate dsns as much as possible to prevent space abends because the users who create dsns on this pool are not authorized to create multi-volume dsns.
