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.

System action:  The data set is allocated in non-extended format.

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.

Here's a part of the SMS allocation messages.

Lastly, here's the SMS definition for DATACLAS EXT.

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?
