Hey Mike/Russell/All,

Thanks for giving an explanation. Yes the Device D72D is Dasd Device
Address which is specifically used for allocating temporary datasets, but
when I check if this device is exhausted it isn't really instead the
temporary dataset volumes are 73% free.

"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?"

Yes here the ACS plays a vital role in directing the allocation to a device
D72D which is exclusively being used for holding temporary datasets.

"Be sure SMS ACS does not direct your allocation to wrong device"

IEE457I 08.01.02 UNIT STATUS 425
UNIT TYPE STATUS        VOLSER     VOLSTATE
D72D 3390 A             TEMP02     PRIV/RSDN

Is it possible to direct the allocation on a NON-sms volume ?

Jake
