Michael, You are using the same Screen and if you issued the SRCHFOR on the DSLIST panel when it brings up the list you would have gotten the exact error message "ENQUEUE failed" at the top right corner. And if you pressed PF1, then you would have got this message. ----------------------------------------------- | Data set SPFCNTLX in use, ENQUEUE failed. | ----------------------------------------------- This is the reason for the Allocation error Since ISPF provides you up to 8 screens, why NOT issue the SRCHFOR in another screen ? By doing so , the respective screen LIST/work datasets will be opened.
