Thank you Neil, I have implemented your very good advice. For whatever reason I had expected that as my requirement exceeded a single Mod-27 my request would have simply been satisfied by SMS using the volume count and performing a multi-volume allocation. Learn something new every day.

The messages are perfectly correct and expected. Your culprit is MB(86000) which would be similar to requesting CYL(110000). None of the listed volumes have the required 86Gb of free space. Rather they all show 27176309K (27Gb) available. You need to specify a primary that is less than 27Gb or something like MB(26000 26000). Advice/Suggestion: You could eliminate the VOLUMES() option since DataClas(Extended) has VolCount=255 & SMS is going to ignore your request for USER13. Personally, I leave all my DataClas's with small, reasonable VolCounts for typical allocations ie. 1-5, and use DynVolCount as the big limit. Why? If you remove the Volumes() option, the catalogue will list 255 (VolCount) eligible volumes (yes, mostly asterisks). If you retain the Volumes() option, you can't expand beyond the 5 volumes listed. With DynVolCount, SMS uses Volumes('*' x VolCount) at initial allocation but allows as many volumes as desired (to max=DynVolCount) both during initial creation and at any time in the future. The Catalogue entry will only list the actual volumes without additional, extraneous asterisks. DynVolCount also helps to treat x37 problems in constrained pools.
