This is what I also guessed. Prevent two or more 'I SMF' happening at the same time in a Sysplex. >As for the RESERVEs done when the output is on DASD, I commented out that >code 15 years ago.

I forgot to mention that I get a lot of IOS071I ????,**,SMS, START PENDING messages during a switch. So, after my nightly jobs, I try to dump/clear all my SMF datasets around 07:00 and thus hopefully avoid a 'I SMF' during production hours and the resulting IOS071I. Thanks Mark for your reply.
