In the old code somebody used "SCRPK" as UNIT. What does this mean?

SCRPK is not a standard unit defintion. It is something that has been defined by your system programmers so you would need to ask them about it.

My guess is that it stands for Scratch Pack - a set of disks reserved for temporary files.

See your dasd person or your systems programmer. What you are asking about is the EDT (eligible device table). Some entries are standard (IBM provides) and others are site dependent.
