If I read the bit about PAGEDEL correctly it occurs to me the ESQA issue is minimised if the data set to be removed is empty (or almost so) at the time the PAGEDEL is issued. It strikes me one wouldn't typically remove a data set at a busy time. So I'm wondering if this is a big deal.
Or is this more a case of having to remove the data set in a hurry because it's bad? Not being an operator I'm not sure of exactly when PAGEDEL is used. PAGEADD is MORE my cuppa tea. :-) Actually I'm wondering if this sort of thing biases one towards PERMANENT provisioning of paging space rather than "just in time". So one would keep a lot of spare space online just for e.g. the "big dump" case. I'm not REALLY sure I should add material on this to the beachhead my Paging foils have made into my "Memory Matters" presentation. "Less is more"? :-) Thoughts?
