I need to move / expand the VTOC on a mod 27 and moved a data set that was adjacent. I wanted to allocate a "place holder" so nothing else would get allocated there (because I wanted to do it at a later date/time) and even though I specified the exact size of the free space I wanted to occupy, and it was at the front of the volume, for some reason DADSM wasn't allocating it there until I used ABSTR.
