This doesn't sound right to me. In step 1, SVC 99 should recognize that the ENQ is held, and upgrade it from shared to exclusive. It should then be held exclusive until step 2 ends (or whatever the last step of the job that uses the data set is.) -Scott Ballentine (sbal...@us.ibm.com) z/OS Allocation Development ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
