Rick I do not believe there is anything specifically documented, however I have seen this behaviour occur on *many* systems over many years during my MXI "freeware" days - and if I remember correctly I added this foible to my FAQ section as so many people noticed it.
You can sorta understand why this happens as SMS is trying to reduce overhead and only updates the SGRP space during allocation processing in a "while you have the hood up" way.

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?
