Re: SMS PUZZLE

Barry,

To confirm, the ACS that I posted is the current version. I am still unable to figure out which WHEN condition is kicking in. When I coded the unit & volser, the dsn was allocated on the non-SMS pack. When I coded the only unit=3390, SMS directed the dsn to a SMS managed dasd.

Below is my jcl that I used to test the allocation :

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DUMMY
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=TEST.TESTING.UNI3390.VOLSER,UNIT=3390,
// VOL=SER=SIPLAB,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1))
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*

//STEP1 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//SYSUT1 DD DUMMY
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=TEST.TESTING.UNI3390,UNIT=3390,
// DISP=(,CATLG,DELETE),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1))
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//*

If you can think of something that I should try, please let me know.

Thanks again.

...You need to look at the allocation request (probably in the JCL) and
determine which WHEN is the first to evaluate TRUE. That will tell you
why the dataset is or is not SMS managed. It would also be worth
checking if the ACS routine you posted is the one in actual use. If you
still cannot resolve the problem, post the complete DD statement or
other source of the allocation.
