Hello Rick, StandAlone Dump dasd striping is not the same as DFSMS dataset striping.
To build the SAD datasets onto multiple volumes you run something like this:- //STEP1 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01 //SYSPROC DD DISP=SHR,DSN=SYS1.SAMPLIB //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * %AMDSADDD DEFINE + (SBXDM2,SBXDM3,SBXDM4,SBXDM5,SBXDM6)(SYS1.SADMP) + 3390 3335 N /* // SAD will then run 6 separate data streams to write to the six volumes in parallel. IPCS will merge and sort the records from all six datasets/volumes into a coherent image when you access or copy the SADump.
