Hello,

I would like to define on which volume by default will be stored new DSN files for each user.
When I submit a JCL with output files or make a copy to a new dataset, new files are always created on the same volume (ZASYS1 for my case) if I don't specify volume.

Is it possible to define a default volume for each user, and if it's possible how to do ?

I have looked in PARMLIB and searched on google, but I havn't found some answers.

Thanks in advance

Wild educated guess, you're using the z/OS 1.10 ADCD, and haven't added a few scratch volumes that you subsequently added to the VATLST00 member in the parmlib...

Thanks for your quick answer.

Your guess was right, I use the z/OS ADCD 1.10.

My VATLST00 only contains :

Code:

VATDEF IPLUSE(PRIVATE),SYSUSE(PRIVATE)
ZASYS1,0,0,3390    ,Y                 


But I can access to other volumes (like USR001, USR002 and so on).
What do you advise me to do ?

"default volume for each user" is only possible by using SMS.
VATLSTxx is system-wide for all users. But yes, you can add more volumes to VATLSTxx, just make sure that they have free space.

Thank you Willy.
I have searched in documentation how to proceed with SMS, but I haven't found explanation about it.
Is it possible to explain the steps to proceed ?
Thanks in advance

Implementing SMS is a rather big task, so if you don't know it already I will advise you to stick to VATLSTxx.

Thanks for all your answers.
I implemented the VATLSTxx way as you advise me to do.
It works fine.

For those who want the solution :

Code:

VATDEF IPLUSE(PRIVATE),SYSUSE(PRIVATE)         
USER01,0,0,3390    ,Y                 
USER02,0,0,3390    ,Y

My VATLST00:

Code:
 BROWSE    USER.PARMLIB(VATLST00) - 01.00
 Command ===>
********************************* Top of Data *****
VATDEF IPLUSE(PRIVATE),SYSUSE(PRIVATE)
ZSTOR1,0,0,3390    ,N     <== STORAGE
ZSTOR2,0,0,3390    ,N     <== STORAGE
ZSTOR3,0,0,3390    ,N     <== STORAGE
ZWORK1,0,1,3390    ,N     <==PUBLIC
ZWORK2,0,1,3390    ,N     <==PUBLIC
ZWORK3,0,1,3390    ,N     <==PUBLIC
******************************** Bottom of Data ***

All six volumes are 3390-3's, will change them to 3390-9 some day, RSN. icon_smile.gif

And OT, if you want to work with Debug Tool, I know how to activate it, and I've also changed my SPOOL volumes to three 3390-3's.
