I think this issue was that allocation needed to be driven. With TSO
active on the system it was almost never an issue but I think in MSS
days there was an issue of demounting the MSS volumes (we got LONG Q4
backup ups) they (IBM) rewrote parts of alloc/dealloc because of MSS
and if I recall correctly because of our issues (many IPL's) so what
was happening then is not equilivent now days.

Remember the Bad Old Days when the operator needed to submit a

Geez, your memory is better than my decaying memory! Can you e-mail
some
[unused?] braincells to me? ;-D
I only see [seldom] those MOUNT and UNLOAD commands, but it is
gazillion
years ago that I see that dummy job. I have searched NOW my RACF DB,
procs, etc. Nothing there...
Question: what was the PGM and parms used in that dummy job?
Just curious of course!
