I got to tell you VSM always keeps me guessing I went to area marked DQE in the dump Discriptor Queue element which is suppoused be a structure in which offset x'10' is a pointer to data that was allocated and what was at that address seemed to me data that was allocated

It could be allocated and not getmained. The more accurate way to find out is to use: VERBX VSMDATA 'SUMMARY NOASIDS' (For global memory) or VERBX VSMDATA 'NOGLOBAL SUMM ASID(dddd)' (For local memory) >From there you should be able to find out if its allocated or free. Look in MVS diag reference..there is a chapter on VSM. ABCs of z/OS system prog Volume 8 is also a great resource.
