IMHO, it is a basic MVS rule that if you update a data set allocate it exclusively unless you can guarantee some other serialization mechanism, such as the set forth by the ISPF editor and Binder, is in place. -- Peter Hunkeler CREDIT SUISSE AG ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
