Linkage Indexes are reserved via LXRES, using either the LXLIST or ELXLIST keyword. ELXLIST is properly documented as relating to "extended linkage index". I don't know why the OP had difficulty locating that information. Searching the z/OS documentation for extended linkage index had the expecte

Calculating used dataset space

Hi, I have been asked if I could find out the space that have been used by some datasets on a few specific past dates. The only way that occurs to me is using SMF type 15. Before I start coding REXX or SORT to do that, as anyone else already done that? Is there anything that will do it on the CBT?

Problem solved by LOAD . . . GLOBAL=(YES,F) macro / parameter. Another sidebar consideration: When LOADing a module into common storage, the module cannot be linked with PAGE or an ABEND 306-10 is issued. z/OS is probably trying to conserve space. Thanks to all Richard Zierdt __
