When a file is allocated to a CICS region using DADS Plus, and then closed using CEMT, the CICS region still has the file allocated.
Release: 4.0
Component: DADS Plus for CICS
DADS Plus is working as designed.
If a file is allocated by CICS at initialization or via a CEMT OPEN, when a CEMT CLOSE is issued, the file is also deallocated.
However, if a file is allocated by DADS Plus, and a CEMT CLOSE is issued, the file is closed, but not deallocated, since CICS only deallocates files that were allocated by CICS.
Once a file is placed under DADS Plus control, only DADS Plus facilities should be used to open and close the file.
