Thanks. That looks very helpful. I am visiting customers and headed to IBM. I
will give it a shot as I can.
Your analysis of my need is correct.

Subject: RE: How force dataset non-SMS?
Caveat: daily digestion causes response delays...
Charles: I'm gonna go back over some territory to make sure I understand the
*original* purpose. I *believe* you simply want a multi-volume dataset for
SMF17 (Scratch/delete) work in the simplest manner possible. It can be SMS or
no, can be any dsOrg, & doesn't require large space. (or any records, even)
All good so far?
Presuming a yes, I point out that PS files (not EXT) max@16 extents/volume.
Given that, combine IEBDG (I dropped the suggesting author, sorry), [1] with
Tom's SPACE=(TRK,(1,1)),UNIT=(SYSALLDA,5) or an SMS DataClas that has
VolCount/DynVolCnt>1. You should get 16 tracks on each volume until x37 for
volume count. I'd even go with LRECL>29k (0.5 track length) to get 16 records
per volume. The creating job should take more time to start/stop than output
the necessary bytes.
[1] You could probably IDCAMS PRINT something simple as well if you use the
large record size.

Still the same answer. I want a multi-volser dataset and SMS is getting in the
way of that.
Pure local test. No customers in the problem set.

I might imagine tesing. The OP might be operating as an and desiring to test
code that shoulc work in any possible customer environment, either SMS or
non-SMS.
