Horse manure! Code your JCL with Unit=(sysda,n) where N is the number of volumes required to hold the data. I usually code unit=(SYSDA,59) (the max allowed). There is also a discussion in the manual about the requirements for Data Striping. IIRC, the guaranteed space attribute is strongly recommended. See the Fine Manual! -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jason To Sent: Sunday, April 06, 2008 9:03 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Sequential Data Striping We are currently in the process of evaluating the usage of sequential data striping in our batch. However after implementing this SMS feature, we have encountered lots of E37 abends. Currently we have define the data striping with 4 stripes and found out that if one of the 4 volumes are almost, it will abend with E37. Adjusting the file allocation doesn't help. Any input how to get around this problem aside from defining with more stripes? It seems there's a limitation that SMS won't allow multivolume allocation. TIA.
