In reading the doc on DSENQSHR (in JCL, JES, GRS, etc.), I am wondering what 
the down side might be.

If one is using a Production Control system of some kind, what pitfalls do you 
envision by allowing an ENQ to be demoted to non-exclusive (SHR)?

I can see problems for restart if a file gets mangled during reorg, or 
delete/define/load that is detected by the next step which uses DISP=SHR as an 
example. Granted, that JOB should RUN with DSENQSHR=DISALLOW.
