Looks like that is it Gil, Exclusive enque causes it. Chalk it up to another misleading IBM message.

What I imagine is: o Edit does ENQ SHR on the DSN. o "Z" upgrates the ENQ to EXC. o FTP fails to obtain the ENQ SHR. Can you reproduce the behavior with simply ALLOCATE OLD? Must it be the new member, or any old member? Does FTP ENQ SHR at the point you "cd 'AFITJLM.SDSF'"? etc. I've seen similar behaviors with other utilities (NFS?). I'm accustomed to getting "permission denied", which is notionally more appropriate than "not found". -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
