Hi Willie,
We (INNOVATION) do not have any record of you writing/calling us on
this. Normally, we would want to see the entire report to be able to
answer this type of question.
When an IAM file is created with the VSAM EXTENDED format the IAM Global
Options value for RELEASE= is used for the RELEASE setting on the file.
The default Global Option for RELEASE= is YES.
Once an IAM file is loaded, space in this file is released and the
RELEASE setting on the file is set to NO.
If you have questions, please contact IAM support at INNOVATION.

I defined the dsn as VSAM EXTENDED format and I ran a LISTCAT to compare the
before and after allocation.
Everything is okay except for the following:
When the dsn was NOT VSAM EXTENDED format the IAM100 IAM FILE ANALYSIS output
showed :
TOTAL EXTENTS = 49 - TOTAL SPACE ALLOCATED - = 1956000 TRACKS
PRIMARY SPACE = 4350 - SECONDARY SPACE ------- = 4350 CYL
MULTIVOLUME -- = PRIMARY - MAX SECONDARY --------- = 4350 CYL
RELEASE ------ = NO - SHARE OPTIONS --------- = 2
DATA COMPRESS = SOFTWARE - INDEX COMPRESS -------- = YES
TOTAL RECORDS = 447700657 - INSERTS --------------- = 0
UPDATES ------ = 0 - DELETES --------------- = 0
HIGH USED RBA = 104538978 - HIGH ALLOCATED RBA ---- = 104538978 KB
FILE DEFINED - = 2014.298 - 10/25/2014 - 6:26 PM - = 18:26:54
FILE LOADED -- = 2014.298 - 10/25/2014 - 6:53 PM - = 18:53:07
However when the dsn is defined as VSAM EXTENDED it shows
TOTAL EXTENTS = 2 - TOTAL SPACE ALLOCATED - = 95250 TRACKS
PRIMARY SPACE = 6350 - SECONDARY SPACE ------- = 6350 CYL
MULTIVOLUME -- = PRIMARY - MAX SECONDARY --------- = 6350 CYL
RELEASE ------ = YES - SHARE OPTIONS --------- = 2
FILE DEFINED - = 2014.300 - 10/27/2014 - 1:17 PM - = 13:17:06
NUMBER OF IAM DATA BLOCKS -------------------- = 0
EXTENDED HIGH ALLOCATED RBN ------------------ = 0
I cannot understand why it is showing RELEASE ------ = YES ? I thought
it could be coming from
Space Constraint Relief . . . : YES
I tried a test and changed the Space Constraint Relief . . . : NO however the
result was the same.
Could someone shed some light?
Thanks.
