Thanks all, I appreciate the information. The backup job goes after almost static dsn's in this case, so the data does not change much. Using the SHARE option will be fine here.

TOL(ENQF) would not help his situation. Since the DSS dump started first, it will get the ENQ. Then when the job with the PROCLIB statement started it will still fail. But the SHARE option on DUMP should solve the problem, changes the SYSDSN ENQ from exclusive to shared and the PROCLIB job should tolerate that. -- Bruce A.
