Les, One of the first things I tried was to query the drive (it was FREE) then ATTACH to myself and DETACH. As I said in my reply to JR, I can perform RMS queries (and mounts) successfully on this drive on another system (not at the same time ;-) ). For CP we are at V5R3.0 at RSU0702 so that should not be the problem. I thought we were reasonably up to date on DFSMS service but I will check. Is there a particular APAR that needs to be present to indicate the required service level?
