Return Variables:

&$DSDYNEC

DYNALLOC information code

Example: OPT=UNALL

EXEC $DSCALL OPT=UNALL DD=DD1

Notes:

If a concatenated data set is freed, the first data set in the concatenation is deallocated. The other ddnames in the concatenation return to their original allocation state. The net effect is the same as a deconcatenation followed by a deallocation of the first ddname in the concatenation.

A temporary data set whose name was generated at allocation is deleted when deallocated, regardless of the disposition value specified.
