Ensuring sufficient common area data spaces

The RTCS subsystem requires two SCOPE=COMMON data spaces.

Note

Complete this task for each target z/OS image.

The MAXCAD parameter in member IEASYSxx of SYS1.PARMLIB or a z/OS system image Logical PARMLIB data set specifies the maximum number of SCOPE=COMMON data spaces that will be available for the life of the IPL.

If you have difficulty starting RTCS because no SCOPE=COMMON data spaces are available, increase the value of the MAXCAD parameter, and IPL the z/OS image.
