Automation of the TSO RECEIVE command

The TSO commands TRANSMIT and RECEIVE are very useful for moving data around, particularly as TRANSMIT produces an 80-byte LRECL which works easily with in-stream JCL. But has anyone worked out a reliable mechanism to automate the use of the RECEIVE command? It always issues queries to the user.

Jason, your question is really generic and I think you're talking about DB2 locks. To obtain a lock DB2 must use CPU so the more locks the more CPU you need. This usually is related to a workload growth or application change. If the number of locks is quite the same and the number of lock conten
