Hello Allocation Control Center (ACC) from DTS Software can set the SMS Classes so you could use instead of robust ACS routines. ACC can also set fields so you would not have to have one DATACLAS with RLSE set and one without. We have customers that use ACC to override SMS classes like if the MGMTCLAS is xxxx then the STORCLAS should not be yyyy.
SMS/Debug is part of ACC and also sold as a separate product. SMS/Debug can trace your ACS routine, both the Active SCDS and an SCDS, includes a testing environment similar to Naviquest but you can NOT use SMS/Debug to replace ACS routines. It is great for answering the question "How did this dataset end up in that STORCLAS". It also includes SMS Volume Selection tracing and DADSM exit tracing. Sorry for the commercial but I just wanted to clear up the discussion.

But sometimes it's difficult to write a new ACS or upgrade an old ACS. With SMS Debug, you can make the same thing with a language easier than ACS and more understanding. It wil be easier to modify the rules after, and the rules are dynamycs, you can change the rules at any time and make a refresh by a command on the console F DIF,REFRESH. The language is just a part of ACC. I hope that you understand my english.
