We have a customer trying to allocate a data set on some kind of virtual tape device and the dynamic allocation is failing
with 0218/0000: "user does not have volume mounting authorization". Using the same user id he is able to allocate the same data set from a TSO session. We suggested he give the user id of the file server the same permissions his TSO user id had, in particular the MOUNT profile in the TSOAUTH class. This made no difference. AFAIK, the TSO "authorities" are indicated in the PSCBATR1 flags in the PSCB but are only present when a TSO environment has been created; the file server is running as a normal started task, no TSO. To make sure I had the customer sends us a dump of the server and, indeed, there is no PSCB. So what is getting checked and what might we tell the customer to enable so the file server can mount the tape?
