Lizette, This is not true. FREE frees all space behind the last used track/cyl and it does not change the allocation amounts. It does not touch the data, either by reorganize or compress. In the case of CYL 1,1 and 5 extents there is nothing to free, because all extents have been taken to write data into. If it was compressed and the last data would be in extent 3, the last 2 cylinders will be freed. If the dataset is CYL 5,5 and has 5 extents, the 5 cylinders in the last extent will probably not used all and the unused cylinders will be freed.
