Ed is correct, you although you don't need to spin it off, you do have to close it. If you use SSI 80, you can get everything in the dataset up to that point in time, so if you are still writing to it, you will obviously only get what you have written and might even lose the last buffer if JES has not copied it there from that buffer (yet). You would likely be better off doing the offload part in a separate step of the job, or have your job get the data from some other job. It's always difficult to get your own data when you are still writing it. It's not impossible, just harder and there is normally no reason to need to do that. In fact as a separate step, it would likely be more useful because you could use it for other jobs just by passing it the jobname (or the current task name) and the DSID that you are looking for.
