Seeing that the original poster asked how to unallocate a dataset, it is interesting that nobody mentioned UNALLOC!
For those that are not familiar with UNALLOC, it is an alias of FREE, and possibly easier to remember because it is so clearly the reverse of ALLOC. On one system I heard of, FREE didn't work because (allegedly) instead of executing the TSO FREE command it executed a built-in C language function of the same name. This was presumably an unintended result of concatenating the C run run library ahead of the library containing TSO FREE. UNALLOC provided a bypass in this case. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
