The secret to multi-volume, non-SMS, DASD allocations?

2005-07-19 Thread Steve Grimes
Hello, z/OS 1.4 with non SMS, 3380 SYSDA here! Is there some secret to multi-volume allocations that I don't know? Basically, this JCL: //SORTOUT DD DSN=&&TEMP,DISP=(,PASS), //UNIT=SYSDA,VOL=(,,,8), //SPACE=(CYL,(1000,1000),RLSE), //DCB=(LRECL=149,BLKSIZE=0,R

Yep - we have 14! I think I'll go CYL,(500,500) with 8 on the unit! Thanks again. Stg -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search

I dropped the VOL= and just kept the modified UNIT parm. It seems to be working fine. Stg -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO S

No. VOL=(,,,8) means 8 volumes. It can be disk or tape. For disk it will be 8 volumes, no more. For tape it will be up to 20 volumes (5+15). BTW: life could be easier: temp datasets can be SMS-managed, no problems with volume use attributes, no need for UNIT, automatic VIO selection... -- Ra
