Mike, The MVS JCL User's Guide states:
"4.4.1.2 Device Allocation for Non-SMS-Managed Data Sets On the DD statement for a non-SMS-managed data set, code a UNIT parameter to indicate the device on which the data set resides or is to be written. With SMS, you do not need to code the UNIT parameter if your installation has defined a system default unit to use for new data sets. Check with your storage administrator." It appears that "you do not need to code" also means the system will ignore what you have coded. The "default unit" is specified in the SMS base configuration. Greg Shirey Ben E.

I can use unit=xxxyyx even if it's not an esoteric. What I'm trying to find out is where in the operating environment is this allowed. I may have an sms ACL error or possibly a jcl user exit that's not coded correctly. I'm asking these questions because I don't necessarily know where to look first. ######################################################################## Notice.....Notice : Ben E.
