Hi All,
i am planning to migrate the spool volumes using $MSPL command and i have

If the DSORG supports multivolume, then add UNIT=(,5) to everything that opens
the file for output.
That does not mean the IEFBR14 that allocates it; you want the program that
writes to it.
You can do this with the DATACLAS as well, with or without using SCR, but with
a large number of dataset
NB if the underlying volumes are thin provisioned, then the unused space is not
using any capacity.
Worth considering if it makes your migration simpler.

No, it means that the page table does not point to a valid page frame for that
address. In no case is the page frame in core, since nothing in the z line uses
core. It does not guarantee that the associated storage frame is not in RAM,
since it may have been stolen but not yet used.
