If SMS TCDB (aka VOLCAT) has a volume entry SMS111, the DD1 allocation with DISP=OLD goes to the SMS Tape Library even though SMC/HSC control data set has a volume entry SMS111 for the volume in the SILO.
As you know, DISP=NEW allocation is controlled by SMS ACS routines you wrote. If you want to allocate the volume SMS111 on the SILO, you have to add STORCLAS=DUPT@SMS parameter in the DD1 DD JCL.
