Re: How to limit tiny SMS-managed VSAM KSDS to one volume?

SMS VSAM is handled through Media Manager, so even if you bypass or shut down an allocation manager product, Media Manager consolidates the extents, which gets in the way of VSAM running out of space. The easiest way to deal with this is to truly fill the volumes you are allocating to, with dum

I would appreciate that also. I would like to see the specific reason code. My reading is that the error occurs on a call to CUNLINFO, which is optional in that it did not exist before V1R10 and you can use Unicode services very effectively without CUNLINFO. That may be why iconv succeeds, at leas
