I defined the dsn as VSAM EXTENDED format and I ran a LISTCAT to compare the before and after allocation. Everything is okay except for the following: When the dsn was NOT VSAM EXTENDED format the IAM100 IAM FILE ANALYSIS output showed :
TOTAL EXTENTS = 49 - TOTAL SPACE ALLOCATED - = 1956000 TRACKS PRIMARY SPACE = 4350 - SECONDARY SPACE ------- = 4350 CYL MULTIVOLUME -- = PRIMARY - MAX SECONDARY --------- = 4350 CYL RELEASE ------ = NO - SHARE OPTIONS --------- = 2 DATA COMPRESS = SOFTWARE - INDEX COMPRESS -------- = YES TOTAL RECORDS = 447700657 - INSERTS --------------- = 0 UPDATES ------ = 0 - DELETES --------------- = 0 HIGH USED RBA = 104538978 - HIGH ALLOCATED RBA ---- = 104538978 KB FILE DEFINED - = 2014.298 - 10/25/2014 - 6:26 PM - = 18:26:54 FILE LOADED -- = 2014.298 - 10/25/2014 - 6:53 PM - = 18:53:07 However when the dsn is defined as VSAM EXTENDED it shows TOTAL EXTENTS = 2 - TOTAL SPACE ALLOCATED - = 95250 TRACKS PRIMARY SPACE = 6350 - SECONDARY SPACE ------- = 6350 CYL MULTIVOLUME -- = PRIMARY - MAX SECONDARY --------- = 6350 CYL RELEASE ------ = YES - SHARE OPTIONS --------- = 2 FILE DEFINED - = 2014.300 - 10/27/2014 - 1:17 PM - = 13:17:06 NUMBER OF IAM DATA BLOCKS -------------------- = 0 EXTENDED HIGH ALLOCATED RBN ------------------ = 0 I cannot understand why it is showing RELEASE ------ = YES ? I thought it could be coming from Space Constraint Relief . . . : YES I tried a test and changed the Space Constraint Relief . . . : NO however the result was the same. Could someone shed some light?
