I'm in an applications role and installing external software, e.g., PDS86, is not allowed.
I just discovered that I don't even have access to SYS1.SAMPLIB. I should be able to use any BPXW... service that doesn't require dubbing. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

ENQ is not appropriate for this type of problem. Dataset allocations are SYSTEMS ENQ which means the dataset is allocated somewhere in the SYSPLEX. While you could query the jobs enqueues, why not query the allocations. My gut tells me that this question stemmed from the ISPF allocations question. The solution in that case would be to use BPXWDYN CONCAT if it exists or use the CONCAT command from the CBT tapes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
