You can define an SMS managed VSAM file without specifiying the volume parameter IF your Dataclas has a volume count defined. In the example VOLUME(*), you would normally get 1 volume; but IIRC the VOLUME COUNT or the DYNAMIC VOLUME COUNT parameters in the dataclas will allow additional volumes to be added. ddkeller

I thought if it was SMS managed you didn't need the volumes parameter. Is this VOLUMES parameter only for the first define? If I use VOLUME(*) will SMS span the file over the 9 SMS volumes?

Application Programmer Response: Probable user error. A volume list must be available to DATA and INDEX objects (the INDEX object appears only if the data set is KSDS). The availability may be through explicit specification of volumes, via propagation of volumes from the Cluster parameter list or from the model object. You will need to point to a volume or get SMS to assign a volume. VOLUME(*) will get you one SMS volume.
