Can't speak for IBM, but AFAIK, it should be orderable separately.

Scott,
Thanks,
I tried to add a few spool volumes (z/OS 2.3) without paying attention to the
TGSPACE value. My bad. Two were added, one was *stunted* and the last two were
ignored.
Now, I want to dynamically increase TGSPACE and SPOOLNUM and then add more
spool volumes.
Current TGSPACE=814,375 and 75% used

I have a project to copy several thousands of tapes, hence the request. Make

Didn't IBM, at one time, allow IBMers to use Hercules? Has that changed?

Greg,
My understanding matches yours to a tee.
Anecdotal comment: My wife picked up the CD I got from SHARE and installed
Hercules. Next, she brought up the OS. Next, she got sarcastic and said, "they
pay you to do this?". Needless to say, I did try for awhile to try and get her
into systems

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=2048K
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//OUTVOL1 DDVOL=SER=xx,UNIT=3390,DISP=SHR
//FILTERDS DDDSN=your.filtdd.here,

For years, we have run with 3390-3 spool volumes and a TGSIZE=24. I am not sure
when or why the default became 30 and why it was not changed in my shop.
Probably the wisdom of it is not broke, do not fix it. Okay, so much for
history.
Shortly, there will be a push to go to all higher capacity s
