That error code really means "SVC 99 can't find a required key in the list of text units." You must specify one of DDNAME, DSNAME, or PATH for SVC 99 unallocation. For that error, the system only cares that it has found one of those three keys in the list during unallocation, and what you did at allocation time doesn't matter - SVC 99 is just doing basic parameter list validation.
You said "in the RBX I get ERROR CODE 0388" - you mean the S99ERROR field in the S99RB? There are some codes in the S99RBX, but those are different. Double check that the pointer to the text unit list for the unallocation is pointing to the correct storage, the text units contain the correct keys, and that you don't have the end of list indicator (the high-order bit) turned on for any of the text unit pointers other than the last. -Scott Ballentine ([email protected]) z/OS Allocation, Scheduler, SMF ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
