Hello, in order to prevent releasing of unused space for some datasets, I allocated it yesterday with MC that has Partial release parameter set to 'No'. However, today when I look at some of those datasets, they look like the space was first released (primary extent is 1 cyl, allocated was 200), and then as the data was loaded it took 11 secondary extents. This is exactly what I wanted to prevent. Can someone explain to me how this happened?
