If you specify (NEW,KEEP) for an SMS-managed data set, it is cataloged. >o fail with invalid parameter combination? No. That would have caused lots of problems when migrating to SMS. >What if I specify VOL=SER? Depends on the STORCLAS ACS routine. If a STORCLAS is assigned in the Automatic Class Selection routine, it will be managed. The routine can look at the volume specified and set STORCLAS to null, meaning that it is not managed and non-SMS rules apply. >What if I specify VOL=SER because the catalog is momentarily unavailable >but I'm desperate to save the data? As above, depends on the STORCLAS ACS routine. Why would the catalog be "momentarily unavailable"? -- Tom Marchant ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
