The scarier part is someone suggested how to update an exclusively held member. The answer is, if you want to introduce data integrity problems to your system, please do not ask us for help. There is no good reason to try to get or put a member that is in use. z/OS 1.8 Communication Server comes with a REXX API to FTP. If you are using a dumb, or blind, script to transfer a file then you should upgrade and write some intelligent code to attempt the transfer, when you get the error that it is held, let logic dictate how long your code waits before trying again or giving up. A better design would have you figuring out who is editing a member you need to transfer. Something is wrong with your design.
