Have you tried allocating non-sms multi volume via ISPF 3.2?
You have to choose a DS HLQ that isn’t typically SMS managed that you have
access to create, and have some volumes that aren’t SMS managed, and then just
go through allocation, but put a slash in that last field, and you get the
pop-up where you fill in the rest. I just did that, and was able to allocate a
non-sms multi-volume dataset.
I think your problem is that you don’t have the ability to tell SMS to stay out
of the way.
Average record unit (M, K, or U)
Primary quantity . . 15 (In above units)
Secondary quantity 30 (In above units)
Directory blocks . . 0 (Zero for sequential data set) *
Record format . . . . FB
Record length . . . . 80
Block size . . . . . 27920
Data set name type (LIBRARY, HFS, PDS, LARGE, BASIC, *
Data set version . : EXTREQ, EXTPREF or blank)
Num of generations :
Extended Attributes (NO, OPT or blank)
Expiration date . . . (YY/MM/DD, YYYY/MM/DD
Enter "/" to select option YY.DDD, YYYY.DDD in Julian form
/ Allocate Multiple Volumes DDDD for retention period in days
or blank)
Command ===>
Enter the number of volumes to allocate or
the names of one or more volumes and
press Enter to allocate or enter Cancel
command to exit. If a number is entered,
any volume names will be ignored.
More: +
Number of volumes to allocate:
Volume names:
1. VSM01A 2. VSM02A 3. VSM03A 4.
5. 6. 7. 8.
9. 10. 11. 12.

Subject: Re: How force dataset non-SMS?
Nice idea but no cigar.
IEF236I ALLOC. FOR xxxxxxxx STEP1
IGD101I SMS ALLOCATED TO DDNAME (TESTDD )
DSN (xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.DELETEME )
STORCLAS (STANDARD) MGMTCLAS (STANDARD) DATACLAS (STANDARD)
VOL SER NOS= LS0501
One volume. (And the SMF 18 confirms that.)
Here is the exact DD:
//TESTDD DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=(SYSALLDA,3),SPACE=(TRK,3),
// DSN=xxxxxx.xxxxxxxx.DELETEME,
// VOL=(,,,3)
I suspect I am going to have to write a program to fill the thing up. Wish I
could do an FEOV in Rexx.

So, you want multi-volume dataset, not non-SMS dataset - yes?
Instead of fighting against SMS ACS routines you could try the following:
DSN=ANY.PROPER.NAME,DISP=(,CATLG),VOL=(,,,4),SPACE=(TRK,(1,1,))...
