ENQ does not handle this. I wrote a rexx a long time ago that would issue any
HSM command and trap the output as suggested earlier in this thread. Long
running commands would cause the ALLOCATE command to fail due to dataset in
use. I had to add a loop issuing:
Address ispexec 'LMINIT DATAID(TRAP) Dataset('dsname') ENQ(SHR)'
until it returned RC =0. Crude, but effective.
