Mark Z. suggested a reasonable middle ground. Gee, for this one-off, I'll do an APPLY pointing an SMP/E library to my data set instead of one in the DDDEFs. ... >> -----Original Message----- >> On Behalf Of Kurt Quackenbush >> Sent: Friday, July 11, 2014 12:45 PM >> >> ..., your explanation doesn't >> make sense to me.

IBM owes an apology to every programmer who has ever been misled by the dreadful IKJ56246I message text. RTFM isn't the answer. When Tom Marchant, Ed Finnell, Robert A. Rosenberg, Linda, and Kurt Quackenbush, most of whom I recognize as experts, can be misled (I suspect repeatedly; I know it's happened to me more than once) to suspect an ENQ is involved, the "F" in RTFM clearly doesn't stand for Friendly. More than an apology, it's time, decades late, for IBM to change the message text. Especially given the decline of LOOKAT. How about: IKJ56246I DDNAME SMP00027 IN USE; DATA SET CEE.SCEELKED NOT ALLOCATED. Clear enough? (OMG! did I suggest a semicolon in a message text!?) -- gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
