I'm confused. I want to turn on buffer beyond close (for PDSE1) now that **most of the bugs are hopefully worked out and ISV software should be set (I recall some issues back at z/OS 1.6 when this was introduced). I was forced to test this some weeks back as a work around to problem on one of our z/OS 1.9 systems (see HIPER APAR OA25618 - PTFs available 07/17/08).
(** Most, not all... see recent DFSMSdss APAR OA21934) However, since OA11068 the default HSP_SIZE is 0 due to high CPU. So if HSP_SIZE is 0, is there any benefit to buffer beyond close? Is just directory data cached? Some of my systems still have PDSE1_HSP_SIZE(256) coded (now overriding the default of 0) from our 1.6 implementation, but we haven't seen the high CPU issue described by OA11068 (as far as I know).
