While creating the shipto tapes, what does Pool A and Pool B means?

Thanks for your help.

Please give a little more detail. "shipto tape" is not any standard MVS term AFAIK. What do you mean by that?

In this scenerio when we are creating a tape/cartridge for an outside vendor, we sometimes get a message from operator saying "Please specify Pool A or Pool B" - what does this means?

Also is this pool different for different high level qualifier datasets?

Thanks for all your help.

This is instructrions to your tape management system (CA-1) to mark this tape as "out of area", since you are sending it to an outside client. POOL A and POOL B must refer to different types of outside tapes. This is something defined locally, so you will have to ask your operators or system programmers what it means.
