Mark, If this is a standalone mount request. Than your UNIT= should be a group of non-acs devices. This would be my first solution attempt.
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Steely Sent: Tuesday, May 01, 2007 2:55 PM To: [email protected] Subject: SMS problem Thanks for all the info on switching the COUPLE datasets. I have a problem with SMS and calling in a tape dataset that is received from an outside vendor. The tape volser does match a in-house volser. I am doing a gener and have the volser, dsn, expdt=98000, and dataclas specified. When the job is submitted it allocates the VTS drives and calls for the in-house tape. When I change the input volume (SYSUT1) from disp=shr to disp=new it calls for the correct tape device and tape volume. This seems to only happen when the outside tape matches an in-house volser. We are z/OS V1R7. Any help would be appreciated.
