Chris, The difference between the IBM ATL and the STK is that the IBM stuff is SMS managed.
So you have several options: 1) Code a different esotheric in the JCL for 9840C devices and select devices that way. 2) If you do not want to adapt the JCL's you have to make sure that the datasets you want to route to 9840C are not SMS managed. So they can't get a dataclas assigned. 3) In order to proceed you can either: - code up a tapereq that routes the data to the STK managed 9840C - uses the SMC SMS interface. Basically what happens is that after that the IBM code called the ACS routines and found no match because the dataset is not supposed to be SMS managed the SMC code calls the ACS routines with an &environment of STK1. You can then use the ACS routines to substitute the esotheric in the JCL with and other esotheric that would only contain the 9840C devices. Be aware the dataset will not become SMS managed, we'll just use the ACS routines to do our stuff. All this is described in the SMC administrator guide that you can get from the support site.
