Jerry, It may be because HW IODF activation is disabled (somehow) on Support Element of your machine. I cannot remember the exact panel, but we experienced the same situation when activating a HW IODF. It came out that IODF activation was disabled on support element(ie. during MCL upgrade etc).

After activating the IODF I activate the IOCDS and it failes with the following messages ACTIVATE ACTIOCDS=A2 IEF196I IEF237I 6001 ALLOCATED TO SYS00006 IEF196I IEF237I 6001 ALLOCATED TO SYS00007 IEF196I IEF285I IODF.IODF02 KEPT IEF196I IEF285I VOL SER NOS= ESCATA.
