From the description of the ALLOCATE command in the TSO/E
Commands manal:
REUSE
specifies the file name being allocated is to be freed and reallocated
if it is currently in use.
When you allocate a data set with file name or ddname, give it a disposition
of SHR or OLD. You cannot use the REUSE operand to reallocate a file from
a disposition of OLD to a disposition of SHR. However, you can first free
the
file with a disposition of OLD, then reallocate it with a disposition of
SHR.
How can restriction be? It seems that if the file is first FREEd, the ENQ is
removed and reallocating SHR should just work. What's going on here
that they're not telling me.
It seems that the first paragraph is somehow incorrect and a RCF is in
order.
