Re: IGD17279I DADSM FAILURE (044E0097)
found it..its in our old trusty manual DFP Daignosis.. Requested space exceeds 65535 tracks for a data set type that is limited to 65535 tracks per volume. Striped (extended format), PDSE, VSAM, and HFS data sets can exceed 65535 tracks. its all good now.. Thanks..

Using different PROCLIB concatenation in JES2 MAS
Hello Listers Jobs are submitted using WLM initiators form Production and Development systems in our shared JES2 MAS. Our development system becomes Part production during night batch. Is there an easy way we can have different PROCLIB concatenation for our Production and Development systems either based on system from where the job has been submitted and what time or based on the job class Modifying jobs to have JCLLIB ORDER is not an valid option unless it can be automated.
