Ron, Since DB2 is doing the allocating under the covers I tried to allocate a multi-volume dataset via ISPF 3.2 and got this error: IKJ56893I DATA SET DBCD8S2.ARCHLOG1.JUNK5 NOT ALLOCATED+
IGD17206I VOLUME SELECTION HAS FAILED - THERE ARE NOT ENOUGH VOLUMES WITH SUFFICIENT SPACE FOR DATA SET which is different from the original (IGD17279I 1 VOLUMES WERE REJECTED BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE SUFFICIENT SPACE). Having said that I can allocate datasets via ISPF 3.2 letting the ACS routine select the storage group/storage class and specifying many times more space than DB2 would be asking for (ARCHPRI). So, possibly DB2 is doing something under the covers that is conflicting. I haven't defined a management class, if that might be the problem do you know where I can find an example ACS routine or document on how I would utilize it?
