Good morning Esmee, I don't believe that either "volume count" or "dynamic volume count" will affect non-SMS-managed datasets.
Snippets from the dfp Storage Administration Reference: Volume Count Volume count is ignored for data sets to which no storage class is assigned. Dynamic Volume Count is not supported for the following: - Non-SMS managed data sets or data sets with no associated data class Regards, Alan -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of esmie moo Sent: Tuesday, February 07, 2012 9:00 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: DATACLASS NOT BEING RESPECTED 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? ________________________________ From: "Staller, Allan" <allan.stal...@kbmg.com> To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Sent: Tuesday, February 7, 2012 11:40:36 AM Subject: Re: DATACLASS NOT BEING RESPECTED The big question is are your tapes SMS managed? 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
