Anyway... my post in the other thread (which I purposely posted in with a different subject line) was a "joke"... not meant for technica accuracy. I just found it ironic that we had 2 different bugs due to PEs running on a few of our z/OS 1.9 development LPARs where the work arounds were the exact opposite of each other. Since I didn't have buffer_beyond_close active, OA21934 didn't affect us, but we did run into OA25618 as I already mentioned in the other thread. Actually, this would have been a 3rd thread because you changed my subject line. I've changed it back to the original subject for the archives. >On the question on HSP_SIZE (PDSE_HSP_SIZE), this relates to >caching PDSE member pages.

It's not a support issue - it's a usage issue. But we pay for that so I will open a PMR. I'll also bring up OA21934 and ask that the APAR text be updated to include PDSE1 if appropriate.
