Has SMS changed? On my z/OS 1.4 system, when I try to allocate a PDSE using a DATACLAS that allocates multiple volumes, I get:
IGD17293I DATA SET SYP.TEST.IT HAS PARTITIONED ORGANIZATION AND IS NOT ELIGIBLE TO BE A MULTI-VOLUME DATA SET, ALLOCATION FAILED Does an older version of z/OS allow the allocation? Confused, Greg Shirey Ben E. Keith Company -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Lizette Koehler Sent: Monday, June 13, 2005 8:09 AM In SMS you can specify single volume or multivolume for a Data Set. It is most likely that either the Data Class has the Multivolume Flag turned on. Linklst can only accept datasets that do not have that flag turned on when the file is SMS managed. I think the entry is on panel 1 of the Data Class Definition function of ISMF. I believe it to be VOLUME COUNT. If it is greater than 1 then it is considered a multivolume dataset even if it does not span more than one volume. Ran into that a lot at my last shop. The Storage group had a lot of tuning to do for me because they had my uni-volume data sets being SMS defined as multi-volume even though they were not multi-volume data sets and could not be multi-volume. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
