It's Greg, by the way. With more information, I see that you are indeed trying to extend the candidate volumes for a data set. The message below indicates it is not a VSAM file, is that right? If so, is it SMS-managed? If not, I'm afraid the issue is fairly clear:
Restriction: This does not work with non-SMS non-VSAM. If it is SMS-managed, the manual indicates that you can only add nonspecific volumes to non-VSAM data sets, that is, ADDVOLUMES(* * * * * * * *) to add 8 candidate volumes. However, my experiments issuing the command with a specific volser did not generate the same message as you received, so I'm not sure that's your issue.

I am new to this, but we have a pool of archive packs 3390-9's which have been added to the catalog below. I am simply trying to add 8 more volumes to the pool hopefully without deleting and redefining the catalog. FDRABR.POOLDISK.ARCHIVE1 AR2330+ All allocated volumes: More: + Number of volumes allocated: 14 AR2330 AR2331 AR2332 AR2333 AR2334 AR2335 AR2336 AR2337 AR2340 AR2341 AR2342 AR2343 AR2344 AR2345 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Greg Shirey Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2018 4:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Adding an Archive volume to the pool Philip, I believe the example you posted below is attempting to add a candidate volume to the catalog for the data set FDRABR.POOLDISK.ARCHIVE1. If you are trying to add a volume to a storage pool, I think you'll need to go through the ISMF panels.
