If you haven't changed things, as delivered, ServerPac uses "GOPT" for
the global zone options (RECEIVE), not ZOSOPT.    What do you
have for DSSPACE in GOPT?   But the space for mine is 2000/200 with
2000 dir.  That makes sense looking at your display considering 
that data set you displayed has 0 members  and I see the 2000 secondary
and the 2000 dir. I'm sure RLSE is used in the dynamic allocation and that
is why you only see 45 trks for the primary allocation.

Are you sure that was the data set that had a problem?  Maybe we need
to look at your joblog / jcl.
