And there is no error message if you do an ADD and the volser is wrong -- MVS happily accepts it and will authorize the dataset ... if one with that name ever shows up on that volume.
SMS makes things more foolproof. FWIW -- not recommending this -- I think a correct volser works even if the dataset is SMS managed.

If the Data Set is listed in APF list, it is authorized and will be so in the LINKLST, BUT if you add that same data set to //STEPLIB, then ALL the data sets listed in //STEPLIB must be APF authorized, if even 1 is not authorized, then ALL are not. Remember for APF, both the Data Set Name and the Volume or SMS if it is SMS managed, MUST MATCH! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
