IIRC, this would be a bad thing for CICS. CICS does not like OS waits which would be caused by ENQ/DEQ (CICS waits are another thing).
I am not a CICS person, but I would think that there are EXEC CICS equivalents to ENQ/DEQ that would be better for this purpose. <snip> Now we are trying the approach of a shared resource ENQ/DEQ. We will test two transactions calling a transaction that ENQ's a resource. This SHOULD cause the one transaction to wait until the other is DEQ'd. I'm not too CICS savvy, but how do you define a small field that is shared between transactions (does anyone have an example), and do you refer to that field in the ENQ by name and length (again, an example would be most helpful)? </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
