Hello, Thanks for your question. In your three options, you are handling the temporary dataset ENQ issue correctly (I assume for #1 you meant RNAME(SYS1.) ). We actually wrote an article about this and other RNL Gotchas on page 42 of z/OS Hot Topics Newsletter #27 ( http://publibfp.dhe.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/eoz2n1c0.pdf).
For future reference, GENERIC entries differ from SPECIFIC entries because they do not require a RNAME at all (QNAME is always required) and if you do specify an RNAME then it is treated as if you appended a wildcard character (*) to the end, so it matches any that begins with or is equal to the RNAME specification. PATTERN is a more powerful way of specifying wildcards. We noticed that the doc is not very explanatory of the different rules which apply to GENERIC and we will address that in the future.
