I have to agree you need to talk with your storage people. There should be a 
STORCLAS defined which when processed in the ACS routines leaves with not 
STORCLAS set (therefore non-SMS). But, you also need to know the specific 
volumes at your site which are not SMS managed. Then you should be able to do 


// STORCLAS=nonsms,VOL=SER=(three,spefic,volumes),unit=3390....
