Pardon me, but this is not a bug in ACF2. It's a feature ... <g,d,r>. Check your ACF2 access rules for SYS1 datasets (or talk to your ACF2 security admin and do it with him/her). Most likely you do not have a rule for SYS1.VVDS- datasets in place or it is too restrictive. Have this rule changed so that systems programmers and storage admins have full access to SYS1.VVDS.- datasets, with or without logging. If you intend to allow anyone's jobs to be able to create a VVDS as needed, then you have to further amend that rule. You might also want to check the ACF2 manuals for any recommendations from CA-ACF2 Support for proper security rules on this dataset.

Tom, If you think I should call this in as a bug to ACF2, I'll consider. Otherwise, I'll ask my admins to keep defining the VVDS's as part of preparing new DASD.
