Ok, then re-thinking it. I just want the simplest way to do it and fewer CPU consumption

Your use of that phrase would usually indicate that one work unit is setting a word "busy" and other work units, seeing that the word is "busy" either wait or (worse) spin until the word is "not busy". "Wait" leads to a design that is not responsive; "spin" can lead to deadlock (in particular when on an image with only a single CPU, if the "holder" might be lower priority than the "requestor"). The approach mentioned by Jonathan Scott is one that is used in many cases within z/OS. Peter Relson z/OS Core Technology Design
