"FREE F(INDD)" in your REXX Exec. OR In option 6 of ISPF give Free f(indd) each time you run into such problems. Thanks & Best Regards.

I also do not see where you are updating a particular member, that could also be a problem. I do not know the exact syntax for updating a member, but would be worth you while to investigate it. Just my 2 cents worth. HTH Fletch <snip> I am writing to a partitioned dataset via the EXECIO command. The dataset is also currently in use by an active application, which causes my EXECIO command to fail with "DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER". Is there anway to get around this with execio? I can manually edit and save the file without any problems while the dataset is in use by the app. "ALLOC F(INDD) da("dsnname")" "execio * DISKW indd (STEM LINES. FINIS" "Free File(indd)" </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ============================================================================================================================ Disclaimer: This message and the information contained herein is proprietary and confidential and subject to the Tech Mahindra policy statement, you may review the policy at <a href="http://www.techmahindra.com/Disclaimer.html">http://www.techmahindra.com/Disclaimer.html</a> externally and <a href="http://tim.techmahindra.com/Disclaimer.html">http://tim.techmahindra.com/Disclaimer.html</a> internally within Tech Mahindra. ============================================================================================================================ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
