I did check and a couple of files that did work - the script that did the deallocate and free successfully - were also SMS managed.

Diane,

Those aren't errors, just informational messages. You'll get them with any job that uses a file. The alternative to retained is "deleted" which is not what you want I'd guess.

Maybe other datasets are not SMS managed??

What do you see if you do a CEMT I FILE for these files?

Cheers

Graham

Hi,

We have a product (Synchro) that allows us to set up a batch job that will run against a CICS region to deallocate and free a dataset. We have been using it for awhile.

The applications people are having a problem with it on a couple of files. The Syncrho Script seems to run fine and says the file is deallocated and free'd but if you look at the file and do a "whohas" on it - it still shows the CICS region having an ENQ on the file. What I did notice in the JESYSMSG of the region is an error for these files. The error is -

IGD104I GUISXXX.CNTLCD.MASTER.TEST.V1 RETAINED, DDNAME=HCDDIN

IGD104I GUISXXX.UDE.WORK.RECORDS.V1 RETAINED, DDNAME=UWRDDIO

Any idea on what this means? The z/OS message manual says the SMS-managed dataset was kept at the end of a step. But why these datasets and not the others?

TIA,

Diane M. Goodwin
