Ted,

SELTAPE=LOWEST is rather obvious as far as favouring low order addresses, but my rapidly fading memory seems to recall that NEXT was the default, and it still had a problem with favouring low order drives. RANDOM as a default
came later I believe.

Perhaps a senior moment... I can't find anything that supports my
recollection except an old post about NEXT would forget the last drive
allocated after a short period of time.

Ron,

More importantly why did IBM drop the Random option?

I would be interested to hear why and if it was a SHARE type requirement.
