Thanks Lizette, yes I am already a member of ISPF-L, but it has been pretty thin lately so I thought I might get more help here. But you're correct, I should have at least CC'd ISPF-L with the same question and I will do that.
As for the ISPF configuration process, I am an application programmer with no access or authority to adjust (or even browse in some cases like PARMLIB settings) configuration stuff. And getting sysprog help is more than a bit of trouble due to contractual arrangements way above my pay grade. I was hoping there might be an ISPF user profile setting somewhere that ISPF uses for this allocation that I could override or change. Haven't found any such so far.

First: If you are not aware there is an ISPF List If you have not joined, here is the URL do to that: ISPF https://listserv.nd.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A0=ispf-l Next, I would suspect your ACS routines are directing the dataset due to the name to that pool. I would check there to see if you might be redirected through SMS. If it is, then you might need to bribe your Stg Admin to put in code so your .DATASETS datasets go somewhere else. Otherwise, the next place to look is in the ISPF configuration process. That could have the .DATASETS going to SYSDA Lizette > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] > On Behalf Of Farley, Peter x23353 > Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2017 11:04 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: LMDLIST GROUP option question - How to change/override UNIT(SYSDA)? > > Hi All, > > I am using the LMDLIST service with the GROUP option in ISPF to save a > list of certain datasets.
