How does this work? I'm thinking the OP's issue is that the SPFEDIT enqueue's minor name is the library and member name, no volser. So even though they are two different libraries, the enqueue blocks the 2nd edit.
In my testing, you get the same SPFEDIT enqueue when use edit using a LMINIT dataid. Which it would have to, because otherwise they're be a lot of PDS corruption caused by simultaneous updates being allowed when one or more Edit sessions are via a dialog. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Lionel B Dyck Sent: Friday, January 10, 2025 8:37 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: ISPF Edit of same named files use library services to do it 1. allocate each to a unique DD 2. use lminit on each dd 3. edit each using dataid 4. lmfree each when done 5. tso free each dd rough sample Address ISPExec 'lminit dataid(ddb) ddname('ddn')' 'Edit dataid('ddb')' 'lmfree dataid('ddb')' Address TSO, 'Free f('ddn')' On Fri, Jan 10, 2025 at 8:32 AM roscoe5 <0000056b62686b81-dmarc-requ...@listserv.ua.edu> wrote: > > I want to Edit a pair of files, from Prod and Test LPARs, both named > SYS1.TCPPARMS(PROFILE8), concurrently. > I’m trying to make them as consistent as possible, with a lot of minor > changes to each. > I have them both up in split screen (used their unique VOLSER) but I can only > have one or the other in Edit at a time, while the other is in View. > > Maybe there isn’t a way to do this, but if there is it would make things > easier. > > Thanks in advance! > > Sent from [Proton Mail](https://proton.me/mail/home) for iOS > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, > send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN -- Lionel B.
