John, You may have something that is collecting VTOC info executing at that time.
Is there a question? Do you prefer to convert the Reserve to a ENQ?

About 1/2 hour after the job starts we start seeing master start pendings on the volume which holds the primary CDS. Once the backup step starts about 45 minutes after the first start pending we then see a reserve on that volume while that step runs, but it only lasts for about 2 - 3 minutes. Once the step is done the start pendings and the reserve is gone. On occasion we have seen other times that there are start pendings but the morning one does happen everyday. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
