There are redbooks and ABC of system programmer books, sigh, I don't have the links to send to you... Sorry > So steps are missing. ☺ Keep things small and easy. ISMF also provide a Test and Validate to check your ACS routines. You can't go wrong with the Test facility. :-) While I'm not a storage admin now anymore, I have in the past kept a double set of ACS setups (routines, datasets, etc) in production... One little hint I picked up somewhere - I have reserved a group of DASD which are marked as DISNEW and introduce them piece by piece to the 'live' pool. Oh yes, let RACF decides on naming standards and have SMS decides on actual allocation for a start until you and your friend are established. >If there are better ideas, I thank you for the guidance. I'm pretty sure you will spark a looooong thread full of valuable hints. Every one likes to help a lady. ;-) Good luck on your adventure!
