Thanks to all who responded. The auditor wants to know if the "correct storage
group" is being used because he wanted to cross reference with the volume
backups. I supplied him with the code (ACS) but it was too "technical" for him.
I manually executed the commands D SMS,VOLUME(XXX) followed by
I have not used this command, but starting in z/OS 1.7, you can specify SETSMS
VOLSELMSG(ON) (with some other parameters) to see detailed volume selection
analysis messages in the hardcopy log and joblog. Of course, this is only
useful while the data set is being created, not after the fact.

An auditor is not an enforcer.

Are they retained for a proper time?
Are they available for D/R?
Are they secure?
Back up is just the first basic item!

Exactly.
A more reasonable question: "Prove that critical files are being backed

Maybe it's me, but I think:
1. The auditor is being too detailed.
2. The management class of the data is a heck of a lot more important than the
storage group.
I would prefer all production data be in one storage group, and be mana
There are a couple of options.
If you have DTS Software's SMSDEBUG you could run the diag and get the info

Or if you have QuickRef by Chicago Soft and it is at least 6.6 or above, you
can bring up a DASD list which can list by storage goup. Then place the cursor

The storage group is never included in the listcat output. To prove that a

Issue command D SMS,VOL(volser)
Use quickref
Run idcams dcollect STOG(storagegroup)
Show them a report from micsdasd if you have it.

Good Day To All
When I perform a LISTCAT of a specific dsn it does not show the STORAGE GROUP
in the SMSDATA field. The dsn is SMS managed and it is being directed
correctly to the proper volume. I have the auditors here and I need to prove
that the correct STORAGE GROUP is being flagged. I
