Storage Management Subsystem (SMS) Considerations

Do not direct an SMS-managed data set to a specific catalog. Allow the system to determine the catalog through the usual catalog search order. Naming a catalog for an SMS-managed data set requires authority from the RACF® STGADMIN.IGG.DIRCAT FACILITY class profile. For information about specifying catalogs with an SMS-managed data set, see z/OS DFSMS Managing Catalogs.
