Willie, No, the unit is not the problem, as it is valid in both tests. Your logic must honor (ie, allow) specific dataset placement when a volser is coded. It may be part of a compound test.
Most of the time, the ACS routines rely on the coder knowing the sequence of the logic tests and coding them appropriately for the test desired. Without seeing more of your SC routine, I would be speculating on the correct answer. If you want to send it to me, I'll take a look. Also, my personal preference is to use DO-END loops that SET the SC and then EXIT when a test is satisfied.

I noticed that a majority of the dsns are being allocated correctly by SMS. I ran a check on the ACS routines and I found that the SC ACS has a storage class set for TEST.** I also noticed that is another storage class for unit types. Could this be the cause? I executed some tests where I used the unit=3390, the dsn (TEST.AAA.BB) was then allocated with the proper storage class and storage group. However, when I used the unit=3390 with the volser of a non-SMS pack, the dsn (TEST.AAA.CC) was allocated on the pack Below is a sample of the SC ACS. FILTLIST VALUNIT INCLUDE ('3380','SYSDA','SYSALLDA','3390','PUBLIC',VVIO','PROD','TEST''' ) FILTLIST GDVX_DSN INCLUDE (LIBR.**, SCPX.SYST.*.VSAMEXT.**, TEST.**,TEST1.**,ALQTOPR.**, ................................. .................................)) WHEN (&UNIT NE &VALUNIT) SET &STORCLAS = '' WHEN (&HLQ = &POOL_GDVX OR &DSN = &GDVX_DSN) SET &STORCLAS = 'SCTEST' Am I on the right track in thinking that the SC VALUNIT is the cause of the problem? If so, how can I fix it? I would appreciate your suggestion and comments. Thanks in advance. --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile.
