ISTR that ISPF edit's SYSDSN ENQ behaves differently
for a sequential dataset versus a member of a PDS.
IIRC the sequential dataset retains an exclusive ENQ
after the first save whereas, in the case of a PDS,
the exclusivity is only maintained for the duration of the save.
(I can't easily prove this right now as my client has
evidently "hidden" ISRDDN.) :-(
If this is the case, remaining in edit on a sequential
obeyfile would have a worse effect than would a member.

Did you test sequential versus member of a PDS?
