Creating Non SMS managed datasets

Hi All,

In my shop all the datasets that we create are SMS and so no control with us.

I want to know how to create a ds on a desired volume. say I want to save it on SMS005.

FYI: I am a SYSPM working with the test end server....so all privileges I have.

I tried creating a dataset by giving the Vol/Serial number in the DD control card assuming that it will create on the mentiond Volume serial number.. however It overwrites.. it creates on its own volume taking into the consideration of the space and other stuffs.. Therefore SMS is in effect.

Any help here is much appreciated.

You will need to allocate your dataset using a storage class that has "Guaranteed Space" attribute set to "Y".
