>While a DATACLAS can be used to provide attributes for a non-SMS dataset, it is the presence of a STORCLAS that actually denotes an SMS managed dataset, which in turn gives you all the good things that come with SMS.
Yes. I know that. But, the dataset has to be SMS-Managed and have a data class (optional) for the EOF to be written. I wasn't going into the detail of how a dataset becomes SMS managed, rather what is required when it is SMS managed. There is no EOF written with IEFBR14 allocating a dataset that is not SMS Managed. - Too busy driving to stop for gas! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
