  ****************************************************************
  VBFIL is used as an attribute definition for
  DCB parmeters in allocation of user data sets
  for load/unload activities.
  If LOAD menu is entered for the first time,there is no pre-
  ceeding stmt allocating VBFIL, so a message is issued
  indicating "file not freed". The message is mis-leading as
  it's not a file, but is issued correctly.
  Message IKJ56247I FILE DELETE NOT FREED, IS NOT ALLOCATED
  is issued when trying to free files not used, and thus
  not allocated while unloading messages.
  These are only TSO warnings and can be ignored.
  

Problem conclusion

• REXX EXEC IQCP0100 is changed to swith off messages when
  freeing DCB parameter attributes and files. Messages are
  switched on right after FREE, passing all other TSO messages to
  the users.
