The behaviour I recall seeing in batch environment is that when a new 
GDG dataset is being created, GDG base is being ENQ'ed exclusively.
 
For any other job attempting creation of another dataset per the same
GDG base - this base must be *IMMEDIATELY* available, or the second 
request will be failed on some JCL error, not being waited upon for base
availability.
 
I think I've seen something like "DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL",
or alike.
