Without them I can't say for sure. Are you getting message IEF211I? I think you may be describing a situation rectified by specifying the following in your ALLOCxx parmlib member: SDSN_WAIT WAITALLOC(YES) See the init and tuning guide for details. Also, these days you can make the change dynamically with the SETALLOC command. I've needed to use this at shops since MVS/XA. However, you used to have have to zap the allocation default table (IEFAB445) to get this option by turning on the DEFSDSWT flag.
