Ken, SMS does not allow for specific volume selection unless the data set is Guaranteed Space. The Guaranteed Space is a StorClass attribute.

Explanation: This message is issued when the volume selection algorithms resulted in the selection of one or more volumes that belong to an overflow storage group. I'm a real rookie with SMS. I'm getting this message when I try to allocate a dataset on a specific target volume with dfdss using //OMVSS3 DD UNIT=SYSDA,DISP=SHR,VOL=SER=OMVSS3 //SYSIN DD * COPY DATASET( INCL(SMPE.Z19.RESZP1.SMPTLOG )) - CONCURRENT NOTIFYCONCURRENT - CATALOG TOL(ENQF) WAIT(2,30) - BYPASSACS(**) - STORCLAS(SCNONSMS) OUTDDNAME(OMVSS3) - RENUNC( (SMPE.Z19.RESZP1.SMPTLOG , - SMPE.Z19.RESZS3.SMPTLOG ) - ) I've got to ge able to specify a volume so my DDDef's will point to the right one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
