Description

Type: Bug

User ID: Z81075
I am unable to create any new z/OS datasets.
Creating both PDS (Z81075.CBL) and PS datasets fails with HTTP 500:
“Dynamic allocation Error - SMS or ACS services returned an error.”
Restarting the environment did not resolve the issue.
Please check/reset the dataset allocation or SMS/ACS configuration for my IBM Z Xplore user.
