>From the DSS Guide: Chapter 9. Managing space with DFSMSdss Releasing unused space in data sets ... Exclude data sets whose last block pointer in the data set VTOC entry is not maintained in the VTOC by using the EXCLUDE keyword. This can occur if you use an access method other than BSAM, QSAM, BPAM, or VSAM. DFSMSdss does not release space for data sets whose last block pointer in the data set entry is 0. There does not seem to be an option to override this restriction. -- Peter Hunkeler -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
