That's not true. If there were any such restriction, it would be documented in the Init and Tuning Reference. We have both non-SMS managed and SMS-managed PDSE's in our IPL-time linklist, without any problems.
These days, IBM ship two linklist-required datasets as PDSE's (SIEALNKE and SIEAMIGE).

It can be added after IPL. This is due to the fact that SMS is not yet initialized at the time the IPL LINKLIST is buir. HTH -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Beesley, Paul Sent: Tuesday, January 16, 2018 10:09 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: PDSCLEAN issue I have been using the PDSCLEAN program from the CBT tape file 693 for a while and think it’s great, but have a quick question. Is there an issue using this on PDSEs in the Linklist? On 2 occasions now I have used it to zero a linklisted PDSE (Compuware’s SLCXLOAD if it’s important, and on a test system, I hasten to add) with the intention of copying in some maintenance from the SMPE version and it has been unsuccessful. The report says the PDSE has been cleared, and indeed there are 0 members, however an ISPF 3.4 display shows that the percentage used hasn’t gone down from the original 67% used. I tried the process on a copy of the PDSE and it worked fine … 0 members and 0% used. I can only assume it’s because LLA has hold of it or something.
