Tommy, The only time I code STORCLAS in JCL is to force NONSMS allocations. Otherwise it is SMS decision where my files go.
So my first question is what are you trying to accomplish by attempting to over ride SMS? Is there a problem you are trying to solve? Are you trying to understand how SMS works? It would help to understand the intent. Since everyone's shop is unique on how the ACS Routines are coded, you will need to try and determine what is going on. You can use the TEST facility in the ISMF panels to test how the allocation is working. It is option 7.4 in ISMF. This is not 100% full proof but will give you some idea of what the ACS routines are telling DFSMS to do. How is your ACS code setup for this data set? How is your security setup for this data set? There are several DFSMS Redbooks by IBM that are very good, along with SHARE presnetations on how ACS routines and DFSMS work.
