We are z/OS 2.2. For a DR test our current volumes are flashed ( I may not be using the correct term) and we IPL from these volumes. The DR test is also performed on a separate CPU not connected to the current environment. After the IPL we have a process which updates several members in a PDS/E . We use a file-aid job to update the members - this PDS/E is a JES2 proc. The job received the following messages : PDSE MEMBER IN USE, UNABLE TO PROCESS MEMBER XXXX1234. I tried several ways to determine what was using the data set and/or member. I was able to edit the data set and member. I used a MXI enq display and D GRS,RES=(*,xxx.xxxxx) command and nothing was found.
I was able to allocate a new pds/e using ISPF 3.2 and copy the members using ISPF 3.3. Then I was able to rename the datasets and resume processing. After the rename - with the old dataset - I tried to run the update job and it still failed with the in use message. With the new pdse the job ran as expected. I didn't have any more time to investigate. Has anyone else had this type of issue ? Any other idea's what to do if this occurs again?
