This is exactly why every EXIT statement in my routines are matched with a WRITE statement :
SELECT (&STORCLAS) . . . WHEN ('SCCICS') DO SET &STORGRP = 'SGCICS' WRITE 'SGSC070 ' &DSN ' ' &STORCLAS ' ' &STORGRP EXIT END . The string "SGSC070" identifies 1 and only 1 Exit. I know exactly where in the code the dataset dumped out. Analysis is a piece of cake. Even the most rookies Storage Admin can figure out where the dataset got assigned that construct. The string SGSC in this case also tell me that this code segment assigns the Storage Group based on the incoming storage class. I'm telling you these Write statements can save you much head aching - ddk ///////////////////////////////// Doesn't this convince you that your ACS routines do something different when a volser is specified? It seems your ACS routines need further analysis. ********************************************************************** This e-mail message and all attachments transmitted with it may contain legally privileged and/or confidential information intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
