Translated & validated them. They activated successfully. I tried to IDCAMS the test VSAM file (KSDS) with no VOL parameter. IDCAMS didn't like it. I said the VOL parameter was missing. I added one with the first volume of the pool, then I got a IDC3009I 68 rea 192. I don't understand what's going on here we did the same thing got another file years ago with no issues (z/OS 2.6).
