Issue/Introduction
CA Spool is being upgraded from v12 to v14. The checkpoint (ESFCHKPT) and spool (ESFSPOOL) datasets are defined for version 12. Can the same files still be used in version 14, or is it necessary to define (allocate) a new for this upgrade ? If answer is YES, is cold start required ?
