Willie, A while back I was introduced to a new way of controlling SMS datasets. The object is called DFP segments. What you do is define a DFP segment in Racf DSN definition. You can specify a data class, management class and/or storage class. In my case I just use the storage class and the way I've got things set up here, the storage class determines what storage group I'm going to use. There are 2 lines of code I needed to insert to my ACS routine. It would ask the question "is there a value defined for the DFP segment?" If the answer was yes, I would exit the ACS routine.
This was code I used at my previous job, but it's something that I want to do here at the District. Here's a quick definition: DFP segment. The portion of a RACF profile containing information relating to the users and resources that are managed by the data facility product (DFP). I'll look though my list of manuals to get you some information on it. Hope this helps...

Right now, it serves the purpose of allowing explicit volser coding in the JCL and it is honored and the dataset allocated. If you do not want capability to be available to everyone, then recode that WHEN statement to have a compound condition like "AND &USER = &SPECUSRS" and code a new filter list of special users that can code volser. I am not saying this is the only way to do it or if this is the best way. I am just saying that I do not think you want to lose the logic ability present in that WHEN clause.

I will remove this FILTLIST as well as review the others which test for TEST.**. Thanks to all for your helpful comments and suggestions. "Schwarz, Barry A" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Notice the first entry. Now look at the VOLSER you specified in the JCL. Does that VOLSER match? The % matches the S; the IPL matches the IPL; the * matches the AB. So the VOLSER does match the FILTLIST. Here is your WHEN clause: WHEN (&ANYVOL = &VOL_NONSMS OR &HLQ = &HLQ_NONSMS) SET &STORCLAS = '' YOU TOLD THE SYSTEM TO MAKE THE DATASET NON-MANAGED. The system did exactly what you told it. What were you expecting? What part of evaluating this caused you confusion? --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
