Hi Radoslaw, Thank you for your answer. I was equally amazed at a tape being used for sortwork. The reason being, I was told, the input being so large that there was not enough temporary DASD workspace to accommodate the sortwork file. I told them to use DASD with SPACE=(CYL,(1500,1500),RLSE),VOL=(,,,55), which did the trick. There are space constraints but there was enough space. However that does not explain why RACF interferes at the second volume mount. This environment uses DFSMSRMM for tape management. TAPEDSN is inactive; TAPEVOL is inactive; TEMPDSN is active without profiles (I may be wrong but I was under the impression that TEMPDSN works just by being active). DEVSUPxx settings are
TAPEAUTHDSN=YES, TAPEAUTHF1=YES, TAPEAUTHRC4=FAIL, TAPEAUTHRC8=FAIL, TAPE_MULTI_VOLUME_ANOMALY=FAIL, NON_VSAM_XTIOT=YES Regards Jack On Tue, 30 Apr 2024 at 14:08, Radoslaw Skorupka < [email protected]> wrote: > W dniu 30.04.2024 o 12:45, Jack Zukt pisze: > > Hi all, > > > > I am cross-posting this to IBM-Main and RACF-L > > A strange situation was related to me yesterday. > > An ICETOOL job was executing using a tape file for work space as the > input > > files are quite large.
