At CUNYVM, we have implemented SFS servers for most of our
staff and student population.  In an effort to maintain control
over filepool names, and whose data goes on what file server,
we have cautioned our users NOT to hardcode filepool names in
EXECs.  SFSPOOL and Diagnose x'0120' (CNYQFP) are designed to
extract the default FILEPOOL information from the specified
userid's CP Directory entry (from the IPL statement).  It seemed
like a good idea, and it was all rather easy to implement, but
the project was placed on hold for a little while.  Thus, this
code HAS NOT BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED.  Use at your own risk, blah
blah, blah.
 
CP Diagnose x'0120':
 
   To assemble:   VMFHLASM CNYQFP HCPVM
 
   Rename the text deck to something like CNYQFP TEXT, place this
   file on a CP Accessed PARM disk, make sure CP re-Accesses this
   disk, then issue the CP commands found in CNYQFP CONFIG.
 
   The commands in CNYQFP CONFIG may optionally be placed in your
   SYSTEM CONFIG file to have this command automatically installed
   at CP IPL time.
 
CMS CSL routine:
 
   To Assemble:   VMFHLASM SFSPOOL DMSVM
 
   To generate:   CSLGEN DASD SFSPOOL FROM SFSPOOL
 
SFSGET EXEC is a sample REXX EXEC that uses SFSPOOL.
