Scratch Subpool Control Statement
The scratch subpool control statement provides you with control of the scratch volume
activity in a library. Refer to “Scratch Subpool Management” on page 44 for more
information relating to this control statement.
Warning: If scratch pools are defined by this method and the TMS attempts to define
scratch pools with scratch pool indices, the TMS requests will return an invalid return
code. If VMTAPE is used as the tape management system, the PARMLIB SCRPOol
statements must be in the same alphanumeric order by name as VMTAPE has them
defined internally.
Syntax
Control Statement Name
SCRPOol
control statement identifier.
Parameters
Subpool information is defined in PARMLIB as individual control statements using the
following parameters.
NAME
specifies the name of the subpool. A maximum of 13 characters is allowed; blank
spaces are not permitted.
Note: If scratch subpools are defined using the TMI, the scratch subpool name may
be omitted. If the subpool name is not provided by the TMI, the subpool index is
used as the name. The subpool index is converted to three EBCDIC decimal digits
and placed in the leftmost three positions of the subpool name.
