You have a basic misunderstanding. MVS will attempt to allocate the Primary in as many as 5 extents. If not enough space exists on a single volume to honor that request then the allocation fails.

Am I limited to the size of the volume for the primary allocation. I was thinking I could allocate say 2gig as an initial allocation with Idcams and the system would allocate the space accross the needed volumes? That's why I had an initial allocation greater than one volume....
