Brian, >> You always get a management class assigned for a sms-managed dataset.
>You will always have a Storage Class assigned for a sms-managed dataset. >It's not necessary to have a Management Class assigned. The OP made clear that the dataset(s) were going to SMS-managed. The question was whether he had to make changes to the management class acs routine to assign a management class. I was trying to point out that if you do not assign a management class the default management class will be assigned to the dataset. That could present a clean-up effort later on if he switched from CA-Disk to DFSMShsm.
