Allan, I verified, the tapes are not SMS managed. You recommended that I "check your settings for dynamic volume count". Would you know what the member in the PARMLIB would be?

If so, is the dataclas being applied to this tape? Otherwise, check your settings for dynamic volume count. I believe that all will be OK if you code the vol count in JCL (last resort). HTH, <snip> I am trying to solve the following puzzle. Some batch jobs which execute are being directed to a VSM. However they abend when the default vol count limit of 5 have been reached - s837-08. I added a vol count of 20 in the default DATACLAS VIRT however for some reason the DATACLAS value is not being respected. Is this because the dsns are NOT SMS managed? Is there a work around it or do I need to have the VOL COUNT default values changed at the system level? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
