I had believed that PDSE processing follows a sort of logical-unit-of-work isolation protocol such that no process will ever observe another processe's partially updated member. And, of course, old style PDS never overwrites a member until a compress. Whichever TTR BLDL returns will identify either the older or newer entire version of the member.
Now, if someone does an IEBCOPY compress with DISP=SHR ... ISPF EDIT does a much smarter ENQ than JCL processing. Does FTP follow ISPF-like or JCL-like conventions? -- gil -- StorageTek INFORMATION made POWERFUL ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
