And, how do I tell SMS to leave some other volumes alone? > Give me the steps I have to go through. I tried hitting the manuals, but really don't know where to start.

I have a softcopy of a Redbook called: DFSMS IMPLEMENTATION PRIMER SERIES: WRITING ACS ROUTINES GG24-3403-01 It is from 1991 but is a great tutorial. I know all that information is also in the DFSMS manuals, but this is should be easier to learn from. It is what I used to learn SMS when I first started playing with it. I've never been able to find it on the web. Someone sent me the softcopy I have (I don't recall who - thanks). I also still have the hard copy. LMK if you want it and I'll send it your way.
