Re: IEBCOPY suddenly unable to allocate utility data set
Just a thought, is the target dataset of the transmit catalogued and archived and unable to recall? catalogue orphan? or otherwise in error? If so, then I would expect these messages. You might try a different target dataset name and see if that works?

Re: IEBCOPY suddenly unable to allocate utility data set
I attempted a little test and was able to see the allocations and related SMS message under my TSO is in SDSF. There might be a clue for you there. Speaking of SMS, is SMS allocating temporary datasets to a separate pool that might be full and unable to allocate the IEBCOPY dataset? I would hope it is SMS issue versus an esoteric change!

But what I might try is to authorize your TSO id to have MOUNT authority. The simplest way is issue the following RACF commands: RDEF TSOAUTH MOUNT UACC(NONE) PE MOUNT CLASS(TSOAUTH) ID(?) ACCESS(READ) SETR RACLIST(TSOAUTH) REFRESH This should result in a WTOR message on the operator console asking them to reply device name or cancel along with some other stuff. The other stuff should include information which might help in debugging. But I'd still bet you don't have sufficient space on work volumes.

Re: IEBCOPY suddenly unable to allocate utility data set
My guess would be that XMIT is trying to allocate a temporary dataset, and if your SMS rules don't point temp datasets to an SMS pool, then it is trying to find a disk volume mounted as STORAGE or PUBLIC. Check to see if there has been a change to your SMS config that might have affected temp dataset allocation.

Re: IEBCOPY suddenly unable to allocate utility data set
Just to follow up... As every good programmer knows; when the user asserts that nothing has changed - it's clear something *has* changed. In fact, the SBSYS1 volume was full of junk; and I suppose IEBCOPY couldn't mount whatever-was-next and so reported it was unable to mount (instead of telling me which volume was full.) I discovered which volume IEBCOPY was using by doing a TRANSMIT of a pretty-empty PDS (which succeeded). From the success messages I gleaned which volume IEBCOPY was using and I was hot-on-the-trail after that Thanks for the pointers! - Dave Rivers - -- riv...@dignus.comWork: (919) 676-0847 Get your mainframe programming tools at http://www.dignus.com -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
Re: IEBCOPY suddenly unable to allocate utility data set
If that is a non-sms volume, check SYS1.PARMLIB(VATLSTxx). If that is a sms volume, check you ACS routines.
