That's right, but in 99.9% of the situations they are the same, you ENQ a dataset because you are going to open it, if you are not allowed to open it, you will get one 913 abend and then never do it again or have your autorizations changed. Only in 0.1 % of the situations you might have something doing an ENQ without intending to Open and causing contention and this also being intentionally and not desired by your colleagues. 99.9% of the situations the OP is referring to are users ENQ'ing a dataset legally, authorized by RACF at Open time. 1% of the answers refer to this situation (call user, cancel user) and 99% of the answers elaborates the 0.1% of the situations that only will arise when you let a number of sysprogs play in a sandbox and not in the real world. So the majority of this thread is highly academically and theoretically. Let's go and do some useful work.
