John, In your second example, the UNIT parameter is coded to allow for an allocation of up to 40 volumes. Your allocation originally failed with a b37 space abend for volume ND0016. A very common occurrence with an allocation of 2000,1800 cylinders, especially if the volume is a 3390 Mod-3. Check the successful allocation of your second example with a LISTCAT and determine the number of volumes used for the allocation, and the amount of space that was actually allocated. If you do not want the data set to be multi volume, use Mod-9, Mod-27 or Mod-54 (or EAV if you can). There are also ISV products and DFSMS DataClass construct settings that would prevent the B37 abend.

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 ?
