Why not let SMS do its job? Change your VOLUME parameter to (* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *) - depending on the number of available volumes in the pool up to 59 asterisks. Change your CYL parameter to something like (300 200) which will allow more volumes to be eligible for allocation.

However, SMS tries to allocate the dsn in a SMS storage pool. How can I bypass SMS so as that I can allocate the dsn on these 3 vols. Below is my jcl and the error message.
