Thanks to all who answered.

The ACS routines were okay John - the Management Class as Scott suspected,
specificially the use of 'Yes_Immediate' on the RELEASE option was the
cause.

Did somebody change your ACS rules?  We routinely run IRRUT200 with
SYSUT1 allocating a temp dataset for database unloads, diagnostics,
etc., without problems.

Good call - that did the trick.  I'm on vacation starting next week - I
think my 'brain cells' must have already left :-)

Thanks

Re: IRRUT200 and D37

2008-08-02 Thread Lizette Koehler
I would check you ACS routines to see if they have changed for this dataset.
ACS can be coded so that no matter what the JCL says, the dataset only gets
a specific amount.

If you cannot preallocate the data set in an SMS pool with the space you
want, it is like the space management tool (ACS routines or the like).

Second, see if there are any productions like DTS or CA-DISK or the like
that could also be controlling your JCL allocations.

If the program is doing an OPEN/CLOSE prior to writing the file, you will
need to use a MGMTCLAS that does *NOT* have the PARTIAL_RELEASE=YES_IMMED
attribute.
