From ISPF command line, I issue this TSO command:

Code:

ALLOCATE FILE(SYSEXEC) DS(REXX.EXEC) SHR REUSE

It works fine.

I create a REXX Program XYZ.EXEC(TEST):

Code:

/* REXX */
address TSO 'ALLOCATE FILE(SYSEXEC) DS(REXX.EXEC) SHR REUSE'
Exit

I invoked "tso ex xyz(test)", it runs fine.

I copy xyz.exec(test) to rexx.exec(test) (into the dataset I try to allocate). When I invoke "tso ex rexx(test)", I got this error:

Code:

FILE SYSEXEC NOT UNALLOCATED, DATA SET IS OPEN,
+++ RC(12) +++,

How can I fix the error?

Don't you mean,

Code:

tso ex rexx.exec(test)

?

You have not issued a FREE for the ALLOCATE that you did in XYZ.EXEC.

To fix this, issue FREE from the command line and then try REXX.EXEC member. The command is,

Code:

TSO FREE FI(SYSEXEC)

WARNING! Any other datasets also allocated to SYSEXEC will be de-allocated too. In such a case, try,

Code:

TSO FREE DATASET('REXX.EXEC')

(Look out for problems due to quotes.)
