In SAS 9 on MVS the summary object uses the TKIOP/UTILLOC utility file
system.  Even though the utility files are being closed, the file space
is not released which causes it to be held for the entire SAS session.

The summary object impacts procedures MEANS, SUMMARY, TABULATE and
REPORT.

For MVS customers, the work-around is to switch to the HFS file system
for UTILLOC and insert a free handle call.
