You need to use a storclas with guaranteed space = yes to get the primary allocation amount to be allocated on each volume. The way your jcl is structured, you will only allocate the primary on the first volume. You will only allocate space on the second volume after you fill the primary space and start allocating *ONLY* 20 cylinders at a time on the second volume. If you do not want to use a storclas with guaranteed space = yes, you can allocate across both volumes by using SPACE=(CYL,(3336,3336)) and write enough data to the dataset to cause it to fill the primary space.
