Well, the manual seems to indicate it will do either. I'm also wondering what userid the allocation is occurring under. The userid of the user, or the userid of OMVS(OMVSKERN) in our case. Maybe that userid doesn’t have the authority to create user datasets.

David, just from the top of my head ... I thought automount would work with HSF files only, and not with zFS. At least this was when I implemented the automount feature at our shop, which was on z/OS 1.4. Are you sure you can give type= zfs ?
