Look at the DFdss manual RELEASE parameter, of if you have FDR COMPAKTOR even better

Not sure if the ISMF panels would build the JCL for you, but it might be worth a look.

Wrong

Did you read all about that very nice release parameter in the manual I gave you the link to ?

Hi,

I'd also be looking at why the space wasn't released at creation time.
