-- snip -- With VAM (Since I AM a Silverback), you can use a DDNAME of VDSDIAGS to trace the allocation thru the selection routines. This helps to see why a dataset didn't go where (I thought) it should have. . . Does SMS have a similar DD? I've used the TEST facility in SMS, but find it wanting. -- snip --
As Sam has already pointed out, there is nothing available in native SMS other than the ACS test option. You could possibly code up some SMS exits (IGDACSDC,IGDACSSC,IGDACSMC) to do some tracing for you. You could also just add a lot of WRITE statements in your ACS routines and restrict them to your userid.
