FREE=CLOSE is a problematic API to exploit. I'm fairly certain that we've (MVS element of z/OS) never documented that SYSMDUMPs are opened just once per logical dump, and that's true of most applications that I've encountered as well. While it may be true of someone's current implementation, foreclosing a design option for the future is rarely done.
