It occurred to me after my previous post that you were indeed talking about DFSMS itself. I've never been in-house for a migration to SMS, so I don't know the history. I could see a chicken-and-egg problem in putting SMS resources under control of a product that has not yet been installed. ;-)
In our case, all SMS related data sets and user catalogs live on non-SMS volumes. I can't see any benefit in making them SMS managed, although you have shown that it's possible. . . .

Hello, Thx for your replies, I'm talking about DFSMS ACDS,SCDS and COMMDS (i'll refer CDSs hereafter). The reason for this question is that I have "all flavours". Systems with UCAT be SMS managed and CDSs not be sms managed. CDSs be SMS managed and UCAT not sms managed. I wonder if there was any "not mandatory but very much advisable rule" to set up these datasets. In all cases, each of these CDSs is placed in one dedicated dasd volume. Many thx one more, A.Cecilio.
