>Hate to reply to myself, but I was wrong and it appears that the space is truly only freed when a SYSOUT is coded as FREE=CLOSE. Sorry, but even though it separates the output to another entry, the space is not freed when purging or printing the output of a non-FREE=CLOSE SYSOUT.
NOT true. It is freed after the JOE is printed, now. I remember that ops used to depend on the fact that it wasn't and they could check certain maintenance jobs, even if the output was printed. Then the 'functionality' disappeared. -teD Me? A skeptic?
