John, I disagree with you. My assumption is that Tommy will have *converted* TSMD12 to SMS management and will have mounted it PRIVATE.
For reasons of enabling dataset separation, he will have altered/defined the storage class SCTSMD to have the attribute of guaranteed space. I also believe he was stating the BEFORE state *and* asking about the AFTER state. That being the case, he only has to handle the TEMP datasets separately. The rest would be assigned to SCTSMD in the fall-through example you showed.

Snippage -------------------- Your ACS code will work for this case but you know that already. In case 2, I recommend that you not put this volume under SMS management. If the volume(s) is part of the same storage group as the "storage" volumes, any dataset going to that pool can be allocated on it. If you must put the "private" volumes under SMS, you should setup a separate storage group. You would probably also want to use a different storclas to make the decision in the storage group acs routine easy. In case 3, I suggest that you code your ACS routine to handle case 1 and 2. You can then put in a SET &STORCLAS='SCTSMD' to handle everything else. Again, do not try to put case 2 datasets in the same SMS pool as case 3 datasets. ------------------ LEGAL DISCLAIMER The information transmitted is intended solely for the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
