Gil:

See my previous reply. The DEB exists in the LSQA of the address space that has the data set OPEN. In order to do what you ask, it would be necessary for the system to find all OPEN instances of the newly extended data set and then adding the new extent to its particular DEB. How it would determine which address spaces have the data set OPEN without using GRS' Queue elements for that data set (which you affected by the DEQ), I don't know.

You could partially solve the problem by holding DEBs in global storage, such as SQA, but this causes problems with the "DEB's appendage exit list" which provides for application specific exits associated with the use of the data set. Trying to make these global in scope would pose some problems, in particular, it opens up an integrity exposure (based on the DEB appendages) that was closed back in the first couple of years that MVS was in existence.

Long ago, I encountered a technique, with DYNALLOC, to create a data
set while another job holds a SHR ENQ on its DSN.  I reported this
in a PMR to IBM which struggled long and earnestly with the problem,
and concluded it was too hard to fix, and presented a nuisance but
no hazard.  AFAIK, the behavior remains unchanged.
