I attempted a little test and was able to see the allocations and related SMS message under my TSO is in SDSF. There might be a clue for you there. Speaking of SMS, is SMS allocating temporary datasets to a separate pool that might be full and unable to allocate the IEBCOPY dataset? I would hope it is SMS issue versus an esoteric change!

But what I might try is to authorize your TSO id to have MOUNT authority. The simplest way is issue the following RACF commands: RDEF TSOAUTH MOUNT UACC(NONE) PE MOUNT CLASS(TSOAUTH) ID(?????) ACCESS(READ) SETR RACLIST(TSOAUTH) REFRESH This should result in a WTOR message on the operator console asking them to "reply device name or cancel" along with some other stuff. The other stuff should include information which might help in debugging. But I'd still bet you don't have sufficient space on work volumes.
