When a model spool file is requested, the unit where the spool file is being created will be blocked during the process of formatting. Make sure that sufficient space is available on the spool, otherwise access to all databases will be blocked during the process of formatting.
When database sharing is active, model spool files can no longer be deleted online, but can only be deleted using program BST05CMD.
Spool files in status ERR or FMT can no longer be placed online in model status, nor can they be deleted online. (The reason for the error status is most likely due to errors occurring during allocation or formatting. Check the job log of the started task).
Note: The above applies not only to file type SP ‑ Spool, but also to the other types of spool files supported by some products (CA ‑ Cache, GL ‑ Global, IX ‑ Index, SR ‑ Reload).
