SVC99 OR JCL VSAM DETECTED: CANNOT REDIRECT IN THE DEFINE ENVIRONMENT

Reason:

This message is issued to note that the request made by the ASR to redirect a non-SMS Managed new VSAM data set allocation request initiated by either SVC99 or JCL will not be honored in the DEFINE Environment. These types of allocation requests need to be redirected in the ALLOC Environment.

Action:

These allocations will not be considered eligible for Storage Group Level (SGL) Does It Fit (DIF) Support in the DEFINE Environment. If you want to be able to use SGL DIF to prevent SNA failures for these kinds of allocation requests, you will need to redirect them in the ALLOC Environment.
