Hi Peter,
I came across a similar use case a couple times over the past year or so.
Shifting priorities have prevented me from doing much with it, but while at the

But there's no need, if counting the records in a file (or even summing their
lengths as well) to store them all.Use something like:

The only difference I can see between ALLOC and bpxwdyn is that the former

you want to run under IRXJCL, you'd have to go with bpxwdyn. I also like

I think you've got it right. When a DD is unallocated, the DDNAME is
indeed gone, except... you can put duplicate DDNAMES in JCL for a step, and
when the first is freed, the next one steps in. So you could avoid calling
bpxwdyn by pre-allocating a bunch of them. More or less obviously, that's
