Example 3—Release Space with Specified Criteria

Release the idle space from those data sets that:

• Reside on real volumes starting with "TSO".
• Have names that start with "ADS" or "PAY".
• Are sequential, or are partitioned and have 20 percent or more idle space.

  //jobname JOB (acct,info),etc.
  //         EXEC DMS
  //SYSIN     DD  *
  SCAN REALVOLS
  SELECT VOL=TSO/,DSN=(ADS/,PAY/),
  CRITERIA=(DSORG,EQ,PO,AND,PCTUSED,LT,80)
  SELECT VOL=TSO/,DSN=(ADS/,PAY/),CRITERIA=(DSORG,EQ,PS)
  RELEASE
  

Notice that all sequential data sets will have their idle space released, since no threshold is specified.
