Doh! Yep, that explains it. Shame on me for not doing what you did. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Feller, Paul Sent: Friday, April 30, 2021 3:13 PM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Program invoked SORT, SMS managed //SORTOUT DD DSN=&&TEMP [EXTERNAL]
[External Email. Exercise caution when clicking links or opening attachments.] Maybe this will help. IGD17165I MULTI-VOLUME TEMPORARY DATA SET dsname WILL NOT BE STRIPED. Explanation: It is not possible to allocate a multi-volume temporary data set in extended format. Due to technical reasons, is is not possible to create an NVR (non-VSAM volume record) for temporary data sets and the NVR contains crucial information for extended format and compressed data sets. In the message text: dsname The specified data set name. System action: The data set is allocated in non-extended format. Programmer response: This is an informational message. Allocation continues.

Are not SMS managed temporary datasets eligible for mutli-volume allocation? In other words, shouldn't this SMS managed temporary dataset 1) had greater than 16 extents on the volume since it is an extended dataset, and 2) shouldn't the dataset have extended to another volume?
