Thanks to Rob and the others who replied.  I may have erred on the side of
brevity in my original question.  I am working on a problem from one of our
customers.  This customer added a volume to a storage group, but we did not
report a decrease in the percentage used across a group of volumes.  I was
trying to confirm that this was in fact due to no allocation being done.

Back to the technical level, I am looking at the SGD rather than the VLD. 
Is there a reference in IBM documentation for the "first allocation" condition?
