The ENQ is released after the last step that references the data
set name. "PASS" has no effect. So, put the DD statement in the
last step of the job, or, even add a last step:
//STOPSTEP EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,COND=(0,LE)
//STOPFIL DD DSN=PROD.EDI.SENDEDI.STOPFIL,
// DISP=MOD
"COND=(0,LE)" prevents the step's actually executing; "MOD" may
help satisfy JES3 setup requiremenents. If the data set doesn't
exist you may need to add UNIT and/or SPACE.
