I agree with your hypothesis ... the PAX fails because it cannot get an Exclusive ENQ on MY.PAX

With respect to the spawned (PAX) Address Space, though, it is possible that the spawn itself could take longer than the Batch Job switching steps and defeat the entire purpose.
I think coding a SLEEP (or equivalent) in the TSO input could prevent this.

If a DD statement exists in a job the Initiator issues the needed ENQ at the
beginning of the job and it's in effect through all earlier steps.

The initiator never sees the DYNALLOC.

My guess is that pax runs in a different (forked) address space so its attempt
to allocate OLD conflicts with the SHR in the job's address space.
