Q: Explain SPACE parameter options

Answer:
SPACE=(unit,(primary,secondary,directory)). Unit: TRK/CYL/block-size. Primary allocated first, secondary in 15 increments. Directory only for PDS. RLSE releases unused. CONTIG requires contiguous. Example: SPACE=(CYL,(10,5,20),RLSE)

Q: What is RLSE subparameter?

Answer:
RLSE releases unused space at close. SPACE=(CYL,(10,5),RLSE). Returns unused secondary allocations. Good practice for new datasets. Saves disk space. May cause allocation issues if reextended.
