In this example all volumes that were selected through the filtering in the previous panel no longer allow any new allocation on these volumes. But this happens only after the updated SCDS is activated and copied into the Active Control Data Set (ACDS). A way to activate a new SMS configuration is through the ISMF Primary Menu panel with option 8. Under the CDS APPLICATION SELECTION, choose option 4 and then 5 to finally perform the change.
