StopX37 is NOT CA-Allocate. Two different vendors. Please post facts, not postulates.
You can bypass StopX37 routines by coding a DD DUMMY statement in the users job to determine the outcome of the allocation without StopX37/II being involved. Unless you have changed the value in the StopX37/II Global Member, the statement to code would be //PROIGN DD DUMMY. The //NOPLD DD DUMMY is a holdover from the original StopX37 and POOLDASD products back in the Empact Software days. Folks still use it by changing the Global Member parameter of IGNOREDD=PROIGN to IGNOREDD=NOPLD. In addition, unless messaging is turned off or the message prefix has been changed by the user, the joblog should display a message prefix of SVM* whenever StopX37 is invoked to take an action.

Look at the started task under SDSF and look for this message: CA Allocate ASR ROUTINE IS..... This will display the library with all the routines that are getting executed. The answer should be there.

The user is creating a VSAM file and is specifying the VOLSER. For some reason the dsn is being allocated on another volume. The environment does NOT have SMS or CA-ALLOCATE or any other software except for StopX37 which raises my suspicion. If somebody is familiar with StopX37 could you point me to look at the specific parm in the StopX37 Parmlib.
