Indeed. >Before they were around, someone probably realized that "something" to drive >Allocation functions would be nice. Coming from big blue, this little ancient proc DEALLOC is probably what you refer to, granted, it is sort of, but ... ;-) //DEALLOC EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //DUMMY1 DD DUMMY //* THIS PROCEDURE IS ACTIVATED BY A 'START DEALLOC' COMMAND TO //* EXECUTE IEFBR14 CAUSING ALLOCATION TO DEALLOCATE A //* DEVICE SPECIFIED ON A PREVIOUS 'VARY OFFLINE' COMMAND. But I agree, 'something' for driving allocation is very nice without having to write a program/function to do this.
