Hi,
In the past, I’ve used Jan Jaeger’s NODSI program to delete datasets that had
an enque against them.
Since we move to z/OS 1.11, the program has stopped working correctly.
The JCL I am using is:
//NODSIEXEC PGM=NODSI,PARM='IEHPROGM,LINECNT=66'
//VOLDDDD
Dear all
One system has been migrated from z/OS 1.9 to z/OS 1.11
in ZOS 1.9 sdsf joblog,the information of a job will be like:
JOB61899 -JOBNAME STEPNAME PROCSTEPRC EXCP CONNTCBSRB
JOB61899 -NBJRDBH DEL531 00246442 551177.00
I don't know if this applies to your situation. But it does relate to
left over ENQs.
