Hi all,
 
Just thought I would share a little something I discovered today.  It's
probably well known, but there maybe someone who could use the
information.
 
In our shop we use the volume set management.  All of our users use a
volume set called "Auxillary" while our system uses the good old
"MPEXL_SYSTEM_VOLUME_SET".  We were having problems because some of the
programmers were building their own groups, but know nothing about the
volume set management.  As a result they were building the groups with
NEWGROUP group.account effectively putting the account on the system
volume set.  Asking nicely hasn't done any good.  They just keeping
building whenever they want.
 
Anyway, I found that if you do a ALTACCT account;FILES= and do NOT
specify the volume set it puts the limit on the system volume.  By
doing the following, users can build groups all they want, but cannot
use them for anything.
 
    ALTACCT account;FILES=0
    ALTACCT account;FILES=1000000;ONVS=AUXILLARY
 
They have 1,000,000 sectors on the AUXILLARY volume, but none on the
system volume.
 
I haven't seen this feature anywhere, so I thought I would share it
here.  Hope it helps someone.
