We use &SYSR1 through &SYSR5 to have a 5 pack resvol set (note these include OMVS related HFS/ZFS - hence the number/sizes) and have no issues. Biggest problem I have is folks inadvertently recataloging the datasets from their indirect values while doing maintenance so we locked down the Master Cat such that even the Sysprogs have restrictions on what they can change.

Once I've worked for a client that had 3-volumes respack. It indeed worked. We used to keep datasets like LINKLIB, MACLIB, NUCLEUS, etc in 1st volumes though... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Lucas Rosalen* Emails: [email protected] / *[email protected] <[email protected]>* LinkedIn: http://br.linkedin.com/in/lrosalen Phone: +48 (71) 792 809 198 2016-04-21 10:45 GMT+02:00 Jake Anderson <[email protected]>: > Hello, > > From the z/OS 2.1, I have started using Mod-27 as the Load address(Respack) > for IPLing the z/OS 2.1 LPAR.
