Colin,
If you get everything "hooked" to UM32029 (pre's, co's, etc.) for DFSMS/VM you
should have it (or just get the current SDO).

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?
