Therefore, I think you might need to do something overt -- like >save/replace a tiny member -- to force the space to be reclaimed. You guys got me curious, so I did a quick SIS search for "pdse lnklst" and found item RTA000030030 from 1993 in the Q&A Usage library, which says in part, "Program Management had been changed allow LLA to work consistently with regard to PDS and PDSE.... When FREEZE processing is used LLA establishes connections to the program objects in the PDSEs that it is managing. As long as the LLA connections exist, space will not be reclaimed or reused by changed or deleted program objects. LLA will remove its connections when LLA is stopped, the library is REMOVEd from LLA management, or the object, library, or all of LLA is refreshed...." For all the details, see the item. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
