I too had this same problem and how I fixed it was through the ACS routines. If UNIT=VIO SET STORCLAS = TEMP.
The advantage is that you can do this now. If you need specific info contact me off-list. Hope this helps, ------Original Message------ From: Rob Scott To: MVS ListServ ReplyTo: MVS ListServ Subject: Re: UNIT=VIO is INCORRECT DEVICE NAME Sent: Feb 26, 2010 4:33 AM I believe that UNIT=VIO requires that "VIO" is defined as an ESOTERIC unit (rather than a GENERIC) - therefore it must be defined by the sysprog in HCD in the OS-config otherwise it will not be valid. (I have worked at sites in the past where even "SYSDA" was not defined as an esoteric).
