Dean, there's may be an unintended consequence to be careful of now that you added null to the list of valid unit types.
If you have a job that stacks datasets on a single tape volume by using UNIT=AFF=ddname such as the following: //TAPEV01 DD DSN=SDR.BKUP.ML1001(+1),DCB=(SYS2.DSCB), // UNIT=LTAPE,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),LABEL=(1,SL), // VOL=(,RETAIN) //TAPEV02 DD DSN=SDR.BKUP.DBA002(+1),DCB=(SYS2.DSCB), // DISP=(NEW,CATLG),LABEL=(2,SL), // UNIT=AFF=TAPEV01,VOL=(,RETAIN,REF=*.TAPEV01) The ACS routine will have null for the unit for TAPEV02 . I burned myself by changing an HLQ from non-SMS to SMS managed, and with the logic as it was in my SMS routines, I was setting a storage class for the second tape data set (we don't SMS manage tapes) and the allocation ended up failing. May not impact you at all, just something to look to make sure it doesn't bite you.
