That is precisely why the SMPTLIB data sets are deleted instead of reused.
In what case are they reused, with message:
GIM35202I SMP/E USED SMPTLIB smptlib, WHICH ALREADY EXISTS ON VOLUME volser.
If receiving the FUNCTION and it has not already been received, but the
SMPTLIB data sets already exist, then SMP/E will attempt to use the
pre-allocated data sets.
In the old days, I think SMP/E didn't dynamically allocate new SMPTLIB
data sets, so you had to pre-allocate them before the RECEIVE. I'm
guessing when SMP/E implemented the function to allocate them new, it
continued to allow the use of pre-allocated data sets.
This change pre-dates my time in SMP/E, hence my less than sure response.
