One of my sysprogs allocated a file on all LPARs. His intent was to have an 
uncataloged file on SYSnR2, where n is the LPAR ID.

That worked on 3 out of 4 LPARs. On the fourth LPAR SMS directed the allocation 
to a SMS managed pool.

//ALLOC1    EXEC   PGM=IEFBR14
//SIXMEXP  DD  DSN=SYS1.SIXMEXP,
//         DISP=(NEW,KEEP),
//         RECFM=FB,
//         LRECL=80,
//         BLKSIZE=0,
//         SPACE=(8800,(700,70,5)),
//         UNIT=3390,
//         VOL=SER=SYS4R2
//*

On Sys4 he got the following:

IGD100I 10C5 ALLOCATED TO DDNAME SIXMEXP  DATACLAS (PDS)
IGD100I 10C5 ALLOCATED TO DDNAME SIXMLOD1 DATACLAS (PDS)
IEF142I $AOEALO4 ALLOC1 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000
IEF285I   SYS1.SIXMEXP                                 KEPT
IEF285I   VOL SER NOS= SYS4R2.
IEF285I   SYS1.SIXMLOD1                                KEPT
IEF285I   VOL SER NOS= SYS4R2.

On Sys9 he gets
IEF236I ALLOC. FOR $AOEALO9 ALLOC1
IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (SIXMEXP )
        DSN (SYS1.SIXMEXP                                )
        STORCLAS (STANDARD) MGMTCLAS (DISK2YR) DATACLAS (PDS)
        VOL SER NOS= DSP903
IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (SIXMLOD1)
        DSN (SYS1.SIXMLOD1                               )
        STORCLAS (STANDARD) MGMTCLAS (DISK2YR) DATACLAS (PDS)
        VOL SER NOS= DSP904
IEF142I $AOEALO9 ALLOC1 - STEP WAS EXECUTED - COND CODE 0000

Dataclass routine has the following as the first Select in the routine:

SELECT
  WHEN (&ANYVOL EQ 'SYS%R%')
    DO
      SET &DATACLAS = ''
      EXIT
    END

So how did Sys9 assign dataclass = PDS?

The following is the base config display:

CDS Name  . : ACTIVE
CDS Status  : VALID

Description : THIS IF THE PROD CONFIGURATION FOR SYS4
==> . . . . :
Default Management Class : DISK2YR     Default Device Geometry :
Default Unit . . . . . . : SYSDA         Bytes/track . . . . . : 56664
                                         Tracks/cylinder . . . : 15
DS Separation Profile :
System: SYS3     SYS4     SYS5     SYS9

As you can see both Sys4 and Sys9 are represented.

Yes, the ACDS resides on a volume shared al all LPARs.
Yes, the same ACDS is pointed to be Sys4 and 9.

All ideas and suggestions welcome.

Thank you,
