Joe, What you are remembering is GUARANTEED SPACE, an attribute of SC. Then code STORCLAS=sc_with_gs_attribute in your JCL along with vol=ser and it will be honored.

Due to the high activity rate and their critical availability/response times for these 'online' datasets, we need to ensure they are del/def to the same volume every night to ensure XRC does not deploy device blocking. Is there an easier way of doing this than my current plan which involves adding a filtlist to direct them to a SG that only contains one volme? I seem to remember an SMS option that can override the ACS and force them to a specific volume (but can't remember what it is). Any/all options considered.
