Shane, right. It wasn't me who introduce the PAGEDEL command. In the past we had several reserved page datasets which was used/shared by several LPARs. Automation add's and delete them on demand. This was fine for several years unless this add/delete happen more frequently because of some DB2 dumps after DB2 V8 comes real.
I wasn't aware of this "bad" effect until we fall into this. Well just an IPL. Also I don't see the PAGEDEL command is dangerous in some cases. Perhaps I miss some docs or it still isn't documented. However we hit this and perhaps we aren't the only one. Best would be to document this behaviour for the PAGEDEL command.
