You need to talk to your SMS colleagues. If the ACS routine assigns a STORCLAS, then your data set will be SMS managed and there is nothing you can do about it.
ACS routines usually decide on dsname and possibly on some other attributes whether to put this data set under SMS control. Your SMS folks should be able to tell you the naming convention to be used to allocate Non-SMS managed data set. The message text means that non-SMS managed datasets *may* have a data class assigned but cannot have a storage and management classes. So you could allocate a non-SMS data set and instead of specifying "data class" attributes individually, you could refer to a data class. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE AG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
