Are you running authorized? The FM states: Requesting a Data Set That Is In Use: Rather than wait for another user to release a data set, volume, or device to obtain use of it, dynamic allocation fails a request by an unauthorized program. If an authorized program specifically requests a wait, dynamic allocation will wait. > Date: Sat, 3 May 2008 05:58:25 -0500 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: SVC99 > To: [email protected] > > Hi, > In one of our programs say XYZ, we are accessing USER catalog by > dynamically allocating the Catalog using SVC 99 (in shared access mode) to > get some dataset related information from the catalog. > > Before this dynamic allocation we are actually turning-on all the wait bits > (S99WTVOL+S99WTDSN+S99WTUNT+S99OFFLN) in S99FLG21 byte.
