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.
