Maybe this will help.
IGD17165I MULTI-VOLUME TEMPORARY DATA SET dsname WILL NOT BE STRIPED.
Explanation: It is not possible to allocate a multi-volume temporary data set
in extended format. Due to technical reasons, is is not possible to create an
NVR (non-VSAM volume record) for temporary data sets and the NVR contains
crucial information for extended format and compressed data sets.
In the message text:
dsname
The specified data set name.
System action: The data set is allocated in non-extended format.
Programmer response: This is an informational message. Allocation continues.

Subject: Program invoked SORT, SMS managed //SORTOUT DD DSN=&&TEMP [EXTERNAL]
I have what is probably an elementary question. I had a program invoked SORT
ABEND with a SE37-08 on a SMS managed temporary SORTOUT dataset. Here's the
error stream.

Finally, my question/confusion. Are not SMS managed temporary datasets
eligible for mutli-volume allocation?
In other words, shouldn't this SMS managed temporary dataset 1) had greater
than 16 extents on the volume since it is an extended dataset, and
2) shouldn't the dataset have extended to another volume?
