Because (as I said in the OP) the documentation for SVC 99 DALCLOSE in z/OS 1.7 Authorized Assembler Services Guide says "See the description of FREE=CLOSE in z/OS MVS JCL Reference for restrictions on the FREE parameter."

I am not sure what you mean with the last sentence, I think you confuse two different beasts: You quoted the JCL reference and for allocations done in JCL and the statement is 100% correct, because that is how JCL allocation works. If you dymamically allocate the datasets, you should not look in the JCL reference for the working of Dynalloc's FREE=CLOSE. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
