Re: DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL
Add SPACE and VOLUME parameters, and change OLD to MOD. That way if it does exist, it will be deleted, and if it does not, it will be created and deleted in the same step. Use it all of the time. You can also use UNIT=SYSDA (or some such) instead of VOLUME.

Re: DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL
Does the dataset exist but the enqueue fails or do you fail due to dataset not found? If the latter, use DISP=(MOD,DELETE,DELETE). If the former, there is a JES2 parameter that will change the behavior from fail to wait but you really need a process to insure no one else is using the datasets in question. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of Donnelly, John P Sent: Thursday, November 03, 2011 12:38 PM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL We have a job that executes PGM=IEFBR14 with 40 DD cards specifying DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE).

Re: DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL
John, There are many ways of accomplishing this, assuming that you wish to delete those datasets that are NOT in use. One possibility: run IKJEFT01 in batch and, for each of the DDs in the IEFBR14 step, issue a DELETE command. Datasets that are ENQueued upon (EXCL or SHR) will not be deleted.

Re: DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL
This suggestion will not change the ' DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL' situation. The answer to Lizette's question is a factor in what might be the correct or better solution. In my experience, this message occurs when deleting a GDS (specific generation dataset) and something else is adding, deleting or otherwise preventing the required update to the GDG base entry.

Re: DATA SET RESERVATION UNSUCCESSFUL
Another way to do it is to set up an IDCAMS job to delete all of the datasets. I don't think you will get dataset reservation failed errors. If for whatever reason 1 or 2 datasets don't get deleted, you will get a non zero return code instead of a JCL error. -- Eric Bielefeld Systems Programmer Donnelly wrote: We have a job that executes PGM=IEFBR14 with 40 DD cards specifying DISP=(OLD,DELETE,DELETE).

Are you getting message IEF211I? I think you may be describing a situation rectified by specifying the following in your ALLOCxx parmlib member: SDSN_WAIT WAITALLOC(YES) See the init and tuning guide for details. Also, these days you can make the change dynamically with the SETALLOC command. I've needed to use this at shops since MVS/XA.
