Do you dump to DASD and does the output volume have any data sets
that could cause a reserve or do you share the volume with another
environment?

I had that problem long ago and so I commented out the RESERVE and
DEQ (I have no idea why the output dsn on disk would need a reserve
to begin with).   Here are the comments in my code:

***********************************************************************
*  THIS IS THE SAMPLE SMFDUMP PROGRAM TAKEN FROM CPAC.SAMPLIB         *
*  AS IS, EXCEPT THE RESERVE FOR A DUMPOUT ON DASD HAS BEEN REMOVED.  *
*  SIX LINES OF CODE WERE COMMENTED OUT. FIND 'MSZ' FOR THE LINES.    *
*                                                                     *
*  I ALSO CHANGED A MULTI LINE WTO - BROKE WITH OS/390 2.8            *
*        WTO   TEXT=(MSG1,MSG2),MF=(E,MSG007)  ISSUE MSG              *
*          WAS CHANGED TO:                                            *
*        WTO   TEXT=((MSG1,),(MSG2,)),MF=(E,MSG007)                   *
*                       MARK ZELDEN  01/27/2000                       *
