Ron The "s Dealloc" command has been around since day 1 of MVS.It does nothing more than drive allocation/deallocation.The same thing happens when a job step ends or job start/ends.It usually only needed (IME) when say you have any long running job (like CICS or whatever) and you need to get drives offline (or online).At one my old jobs we had jobs that literally started and never really ended normally. We needed to get drives offline so the CE could do maintenance on them.I am trying to remember when it first showed up. I specifically remember it was 3.8 but was probably a bit before that. 3.7(?) starts my memory shifting but that was 30+ years ago.
