If both of these WHEN statements are part of the same SELECT, then &VALUNIT will take precedence over &GDVX_... since only *one* condition results from a SELECT. However, 3390 is a member of the FiltList so (&UNIT NE &VALUNIT) is false and not selected. Are there other WHEN options in the same SELECT that match ie. (&VOL EQ &NOT_SMS)? Not directly obvious in SMS but DISP=MOD,VOL=SER=xxx will bypass ACS and use the specified volume. (when no catalogue entry is found) There's some verbiage about it in the DISP= section of the JCL Reference manual. [Got stung with this one when I moved production datasets to SMS managed. My ACS ignored &VOL values but 2-3 jobs were using MOD with VolSer=. That's were an obsolete-type SG pool comes into play. I placed all those names in the SG and, magically, they were now considered SMS datasets.] ----------> signature = 6 lines follows <-------------- Neil Duffee, Joe SysProg, U d'Ottawa, Ottawa, Ont, Canada telephone:1 613 562 5800 x4585 fax:1 613 562 5161 mailto:NDuffee of uOttawa.ca http:/ /aix1.uottawa.ca/ ~nduffee "How *do* you plan for something like that?"
