If it were up to me, I would have added a parm to the ALLOC member of
PARMLIB that would indicate whether or not if a dataset was migrated it
should be recalled for DELETE process only. This would be an LPAR wide
application, but it would be easier to support I think.
Something like
ALLOCXX
MIGDEL(RECALL(Y/N){,EXIT=lmod}) - Action during a delete request
the if
the dataset is migrated.
RECALL(Y) Go ahead and recall the dataset before Delete
Processing
RECALL(N) Do not recall the dataset during delete processing,
instead
issue HDEL command.
EXIT=lmod and exit that is invoked that would take additional
actions
if desired
Default - Y This way each component of z/OS could change
their behavior over time.
And if IBM supplied an Exit with this parm, then each shop could
customize
the process. Add user SMF records, take action in only certain events,
etc...

Interesting idea, but what the team actually did was allow you to specify:
IEFBR14_DELMIGDS(LEGACY|NORECALL)
...in ALLOCxx, with a default of "LEGACY." We think this provides the
function people asked us for (in requirement numbers MR0111026611,
MR021903499/SSMVSE03039, MR0423021610, MR0501004930, and MR1102014722).
If you need a more generalized function, you should open a requirement.
Oops:
(1) Forgot to post this to the list rather than the news server.
(2) Forgot to mention that you can also use the new SETALLOC command to
make the change effective and the new DISPLAY ALLOC command to see which
option is in effect:
SETALLOC SYSTEM,IEFBR14_DELMIGDS=NORECALL
...or put things back the way they were:
SETALLOC SYSTEM,IEFBR14_DELMIGDS=LEGACY
...and you can use the new DISPLAY ALLOC command to see what the
settings are, including this one:
| IEFA003I 16.09.15 ALLOC OPTIONS
| SPACE PRIMARY: 4
| SECONDARY: 24
| DIRECTORY: 0
| MEASURE: AVEBLK
| BLKLNGTH: 8192
