IEBCOPY suddently unable to allocate utility data set
For some reason, this morning; IEBCOPY isn't happy. When I do a TRANSMIT command, I'm now getting this: INMX040I TRANSMIT command terminated.

Re: IEBCOPY suddently unable to allocate utility data set
Hi Dave, From what I've seen, TRANSMIT first does an IEBCOPY unload to a temporary data set and then copies the output to its final RECFM=FB destination. Your messages suggest that the problem is happening on the IEBCOPY unload, so it is the allocation of the temporary data set that is failing. Do you have a UNIT set in the TSO segment of your RACF user profile? -- Regards, Gord Tomlin Action Software International (a division of Mazda Computer Corporation) Tel: (905) 470-7113, Fax: (905) 470-6507 On 2011-05-10 11:56, Thomas David Rivers wrote: Thomas David Rivers wrote: For some reason, this morning; IEBCOPY isn't happy.

Re: IEBCOPY suddently unable to allocate utility data set
I don't know if you'd want to bother. But what I might try is to authorize your TSO id to have MOUNT authority. The simplest way is issue the following RACF commands: RDEF TSOAUTH MOUNT UACC(NONE) PE MOUNT CLASS(TSOAUTH) ID(?) ACCESS(READ) SETR RACLIST(TSOAUTH) REFRESH This should result in a WTOR message on the operator console asking them to reply device name or cancel along with some other stuff. The other stuff should include information which might help in debugging. But I'd still bet you don't have sufficient space on work volumes.

Re: IEBCOPY suddently unable to allocate utility data set
My guess is that a temporary sequential data set cannot be allocated. Perhaps due to lack of space on the work volumes, or due to the size of the PDS. -- John McKown Maranatha!

Re: IEBCOPY suddently unable to allocate utility data set
It's not IEBCOPY doing the allocation, it's XMIT, and the reason there is not VOLSER is because it doesn't care about the VOLSER, it just wants to allocate a temp dataset, and it can't find find a volume to allocate it on. I suspect that there was an SMS change that caused this.
