It doesn't matter if it was an SVC 99 flag, the important aspect was that the realm of your question was "when I do a dynamic allocation". There's also a flag for JCL-based allocation (that will also work for dynamic allocation) but operates differently, and is located elsewhere (PPT, to be specific). Something like PPTNODSI (No DataSet Integrity), as I recall. For that one, the ENQ is first obtained, to ensure the dataset is indeed not being used in some conflicting way, and then released. -- Walt ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
