I moved a lot of tape datasets to SMS managed disk, also, but one group of 
application people fought the idea of using unique, catalog-able names for 
their datasets.  Pure laziness - they didn't want to go through the work of 
making the changes and testing.   They did eventually have to do it though - 
AFTER a scheduler/operator looked up the dataset name in CA-1 and put the 
_wrong_ set of volume numbers into the production JCL for job involving 
mailouts for jury duty.    The ensuing brouhaha over citizens getting jury 
notices two months in a row caused inquiries from levels of management they 
hadn't heard from in years!
