FREE is not an Edit-Macro command, it is a TSO command. You shouls invoke it in the same way you invoke ALLOC.

i tried closing the dataset 'TEBTOTS.EFT.DSN2' by the macro command
"FREE DATASET('TEBTOTS.EFT.DSN2')" ...it is successfully closing the dataset ....but when i make changes in the dataset 'TEBTOTS.EFT.DSN2' and run macro (PDSEDIT5) second time the chnages are not reflected ...
every time i have logoff from mainframe if i make changes in the dataset
'TEBTOTS.EFT.DSN2' so that changes are properly reflected....


please help me... how can i free the dataset from the memory.....so that i dont have to logoff every time
