IYM that the program dynamically allocated the dataset with a disposition of SHR.
It is possible to prevent the ENQ for a started task with an entry in the program properties table (PPT), but that is not done by the program. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)

This was used for jobs which would FTP a file and then use that file in steps after the FTP. This was the JCL used: //JS010 EXEC PGM=FTPDEQ, // PARM='data.set.name.here' //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* This would be the first step in the job. Any one remember this program and would share a copy of it ?
