John, In the failing instance, you ran out of space on ND0016. Hence the B37-04 abend.
In the second instance you provided up to 40 volumes to expand the dataset. Hence the file expanded successfully and there was no abend. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Mitchelle Sent: Tuesday, June 23, 2009 7:10 AM To: [email protected] Subject: SMS Dataset Allocation Problem We have IBMUSER.NDSP.** defined as SMS Managed datasets. My DBA trying to allocate SMS Managed dataset with space as //SYSREC01 DD DSN=IBMUSER.NDSP.DATA, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // SPACE=(CYL,(2000,1800),RLSE) The job is failing with error IEC030I B37-04,IFG0554A,IBMUSE1,S02,SYSREC01,9D96,ND0016,E6002130,IBMUSER.NDSP.DATA But if DBA submit the same job with space parameters as //SYSREC01 DD DSN=IBMUSER.NDSP.DATA, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE), // SPACE=(CYL,(2000,1800),RLSE), // UNIT=(DISK,40) Then the JOB completes with RC 00. Please note that the only diff is of UNIT parameter. Can anyone explain me why this happens ?
