Hi Rich, Thanks for the kind words. We do keep adding functionality to both ACC and SRS to keep them ahead of the curve; there are a number of new features in the last couple of releases that people find interesting, such as HSM Recall Avoidance and Last-Resort error recovery.
Generally, there's no particular reason not to increase the number of ADDVOLs that SRS is allowed to do. I know of a number of shops that set it to 59, which is the MVS limit. The only consideration might be something like an application which formats, say, a VSAM RRDS, and depends upon an out-of-space return code to know when to stop formatting. Otherwise, it's not unreasonable to set it to 59. (Setting the SMS data class DVC value to 59 isn't such a good idea, though, as the SMS add-volume code, unlike SRS, will actually use 59 slots in the TIOT at allocation time, so it may be possible to run into TIOT-size issues if DVC is used for a lot of datasets).
