I encountered some oddness while testing with system managed buffering. I have specified MSG=SMBBIAS to see what choices the system makes, but contrary to the documented message text I only get one line of information instead of two.
The documentation for message IEC161I 001(xx)-255 says: If ccc=255, user requests informational message regarding the actual access bias being chosen by SMB by specifying JCL AMP MSG=SMBBIAS. The system issues two IEC161I (return code 001) messages. However, I only get the first IEC161I 001(xx)-255 message, telling me that the system chose direct optimization (xx=DO). I do not get the second IEC161I 001(xx)-255 message showing me how many data and index buffers the system chose. Is there some system-level parameter controlling the issuance of that second message, and if so what is it please? This is on a z/OS V1.12 system and my AMP parameter is specified thusly: AMP='RMODE31=ALL,ACCBIAS=DO,SMBVSP=150M,MSG=SMBBIAS' TIA for any help you can provide.
