Mike might be on to something. If the device you want to be allocated on is outside the robot; you might also have to code STORCLAS=DUPT@SMS to force SMS to not attempt to allocate it inside the robot. If device D72D is a dasd device, that would indicate your ACS routines have re-directed the allocation to dasd from the specific unit type.

REFER TO MESSAGE >>> MANUAL FOR FOR EXPLANATION OF BIT SETTINGS >> >> IEH605I INVALID DEVICE ALLOCATED ON D72D >>> >> >> IEH607I ALLOCATED DEVICES EXHAUSTED Seems there is enough to go on, isnt there? IEH627I you found the msg explanation and from that the reason code says it an internal error not related to dynamic exits. So based on that you would call IBM for support - if it was available. However, IEH605I is interesting - it gives device as D72D - yet your JCL specified UNIT 890. So which is the actual tape drive you wanted to use? Did your ACS routines direct the allocation to some wrong device? IEH607I just says there was no other allocated tapes to try. Be sure you specify DEFER on the UNIT keyword. Be sure SMS ACS does not direct your allocation to wrong device. If you have rmm running - use EDGINERS instead of IEHINITT - but same JCL requirements for UNIT with DEFER Mike Wood ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
