Hello Alan,
Thanks for the pointers.
No messages on the operator console.

I always put a user of $page$ in my directory with the
page/direct/spool/tdisk/etc in them to help check for overlays.
DISKMAP does not show overlaps but I will check more.
I am sure that the complete volumes were CP FORMAT way back when
we
setup the system.
I have asked the other system guy about the last test of the
VSE SA tape. NOT SURE when it worked last.
I am thinking that they tested it before jumping to the z890 but
I need to verify.
Finally, (you will like this) I am getting errors on the
VSE/ESA side from the EMC dasd. EMC has indicated these are erroneous
errors coming from a smoke detector sensor in the box that have never
worked on this model of EMC. We are migrating to new DASD.
