My options seem to be: 1) plow thru all System Temporary allocations being increased by CA-Allocate and update the JCL, or 2) Leave System Temporary datasets non-SMS. At the risk of repeating myself, what makes you think these are mutually exclusive? Are you assuming that you can't do both in

Are you assuming SMS will manage the 'extent problem', and you can get rid of the product? You can't. Maybe not totally, but space constraint relief, extended format and multi-volume can go a long way. We never had any ISV product for this and x37 abends did occur. Not frequently and we've
