Hi Techfundoos,

Can you kindly let me know if I am allocating some DSNs to a DDName using "ALLOC DD(AAAA) DSN(ZZZZ.AAAA.EEEE)" and before this I am issuing a "FREE DD(AAAA)" command through my REXX. But for the first time it gives me informational message that DD name not allocated..not freed.

Is there any way I can check if a particular DDname is allocated in the TSO ISRDDN list ?? If yes only then I need to issue the FREE DD command.

Please let me know.

Regards,
Amit Joshi

You don't need to isuse the FREE command because you can add REUSE to the ALLOC command. That will free the ddname if it is allocated before it does the new allocation.
