The Conversion Confirmation panel (see Figure 1) is displayed when there is an attempt to change the system mode of an SCDS from SYSTEMS(8) to SYSTEMS(32), or if the SCDS is in conflict with the current system mode for the active configuration. This panel occurs when the CDS being altered is in 8 system mode, and the SMS complex is in 32-system mode.
For more information regarding system modes, see z/OS DFSMSdfp Storage Administration.
