Is the dataset that is in question in the JCL of the first job? Are there any hints in that job's allocation messages?
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Carroll, William Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2010 10:04 AM To: [email protected] Subject: initiator Good morning all. I have a problem I would like to put out here and see if anybody else has seen it. The last couple of days I am having a batch job issue the message 'ief099i' waiting for datasets. The wait is being caused by an initiator that has not freed a dataset. In last night's case a job executed at 21:30 and ended successfully. The other job started to execute at 23:45 and issued the message. The local fix is to purge the initiator of the job that is holding the dsn.
