I’m running the program under test 
After I do decocatenate verb 04
With the ddname text 01 
I get a rc 0 from SVC 99
I then go to ISPF
Do a ISRDDN 

And I have a number of files actually 100
Each with a ddname SYS00007,SYS00008  etc. This indicates to me that although 
they are decocatenated they are still allocated 

Thanks
