When you wanted to force a cleanup, you would IMASPZAP the bit on, then
allocate something - anything - like a one-track data set with DISP=(NEW,DELETE)
just to force DASDM to rebuild the F3 chain.

Though no longer necessary, I believe this will still work.
But I think you might have meant the Format-5 (free space) chain
rather than the Format-3 (data set extents) chains.
(See topics 1.1.1.4 Format-3 DSCB and 1.1.1.6 Format-5 DSCB in
DFSMSdfp Advanced Services.)
