Re: [External] Silly ISMF question
I think you need to clear the "Storage Group Name" and "CDS Name" fields when switching back from SMS to physical list. The field help for option 1 says those fields must be cleared. (put cursor on the 1 and hit F1). I checked this on an internal test system and recreated both the symptom of the volumes missing from the list, and a full list with those fields cleared. Hope this resolves it.

Re: [External] Silly ISMF question
I'm not seeing anything abnormal either. Is there any pattern to the missing volumes? All on a certain LCU or LCUs? Certain vol-ser patterns? Do you still have the missing volumes if you switch back to an SMS view instead of a physical view? You said in your original post that you are seeing SMS, is that as "I only see SMS managed disk and no non-SMS disk."?

Re: [External] Silly ISMF question
Obvious questions would be 1) do you have some kind of filter on screens 2 or 3 of the selection criteria? 2) old CDS name? 3) using a saved list instead of generating a new one for the source? If none of these things are it, may I suggest showing us your volume selection entry panel?
