Greg, Sorry I should have worded my question more clearly. Since there is no rule for this DC (only a construct exists) does the SC or MC cause the allocation to occur? In this case the dsn is being allocated by the DATACLAS LARGE which is correct. I have re-read the ACS for all 4 but I couldn't find out how or what makes the DATACLAS be chosen by SMS.

The first question is confusing to me. Are you asking if a failure to assign a DATACLAS will prevent SMS from executing the STORCLAS or MGMTCLAS routines? If so, the answer is no - assigning a DATACLAS is optional. HTH, Greg Shirey Ben E.

No luck. I'll keep on looking. Thanks. <snip> My question is since there is no logic for this DATACLAS in the ACS routine does SMS look at the MC or SC? Also since there is no ACS for this DATACLAS shoudln't there be an error when the VALIDATE is run? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
