The big question is are your tapes SMS managed? If so, is the dataclas being applied to this tape? Otherwise, check your settings for dynamic volume count. I believe that all will be OK if you code the vol count in JCL (last resort). HTH, snip I am trying to solve the following puzzle.

From everything I know about SMS, data class can't be specified for non-SMS files. The volume count can be placed on the DD card // VOL=(,,,22). Hope this helps. * * *George Rodriguez* *Specialist II - IT Solutions* *Application Support / Quality Assurance* *PX - 47652* *(561) 357-7652 (office)*

DATACLAS can be assigned to non-SMS managed data sets, but dynamic volume count is only applicable to SMS-managed data sets (according to the HELP panel). Greg Shirey Ben E. Keith Company -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List On Behalf Of George Rodriguez Sent:

This is an SMS setting, and can be changed via the df/SMS panels. Since your tapes are *NOT* SMS managed, the changing any of the data class settings will have no effect. snip I verified, the tapes are not SMS managed.  You recommended that I check your settings for dynamic volume count.  Would

Yes, that was my thought too: DATACLASS is also applied to non-SMS datasets, but is it also applied to non-SMS managed tapes? That might explain why it is not working. Kees. Greg Shirey wgshi...@benekeith.com wrote in message news:f5ff22ced304764eaac97a43706235b74f3116b...@corpexmbx.bekco.com...

According to DFSMS Stor. Admin. Ref. For non-SMS-managed DASD data sets, the system uses the allocation attribute values of the data class, but it does not save the data class name. For tape data sets, only the expiration and retention values are applied. See Chapter 7. Defining Data
